OSHA Instruction STD 1-11.6A February 19, 1979 Office of Compliance Programming SUBJECT: Disparity Between 29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2)(vii) and Table N-1, 29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2) A. Purpose. This instruction resolves a disparity between the context of 29 CFR 1910.178 (c)(2)(vii) and Table N-1, Summary Table On Use Of Industrial Trucks In Various Locations, 29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2). B.

These acronyms are earmarked by asterisks in NFPA Table 1 to indicate "Permitted with approval of the authority having jurisdiction." Although OSHA, by 29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2)(vii), chose not to permit these designated industrial trucks for use in all Class II, Division 2, locations, their acronyms, nevertheless, were inadvertently left in the Table when the NFPA Table 1 became OSHA Table N-1. Moreover, the first sentence of 29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2) states: "For OSHA Instruction STD 1-11.6A February 19, 1979 Office of Compliance Programming
