PPE For Changing Forklift Battery
Q: Is there any specific PPE that is required for
changing/checking a forklift battery?
A: It is recommended that vinyl-coated, PVC, or
gauntlet-type gloves with a rough finish are worn, also chemical splash goggles
or face shield, safety shoes and an apron. Though OSHA does not require these
items to be worn, they would have you refer to the individual MSDS and commonly
the items stated above are the minimal required items.
