It applies to internal combustion engine powered and electric high lift, counterbalanced, sit-down rider industrial trucks up to and including 10,000 kg (22,000 lb) capacity, inspection, testing, and acceptance, thereby fostering universal use of export pallets in international commerce with minimal restrictions.
• B56.11.7-2005, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Fuel Cylinders (Horizontal or Vertical) Mounting - Liquid Withdrawal. (2005). Establishes dimensions for LPG fuel cylinders used on powered industrial trucks.

Note: These are NOT OSHA regulations. However, they do provide guidance from their originating organizations related to worker protection.

• 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. (2008). Identifies how to properly use, contain, and store flammable and combustible liquids.
• 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. (2008). Identifies requirements for all large tank installations, operating and maintenance procedures, and fire safety analyses.
• 505, Fire Safety Standard for Powered Industrial Trucks Including Type Designations, Areas of Use, Conversions, Maintenance, and Operations. (2006). Identifies industrial truck types for use in hazardous (classified) locations, truck conversions, and maintenance and operation requirements for industrial trucks powered by electric motors or internal combustion engines.
• Fire Protection Guide to Hazardous Materials. (2001). Contains much of the data contained in NFPA documents derived from hundreds of reference sources.
  • 49, Hazardous Chemicals Data. Identifies 325 chemicals in Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) format.
  • 325, Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids. Identifies over 1,300 chemicals in tabular format listing various data.
  • 491, Guide for Hazardous Chemical Reactions. Identifies 3,550 dangerous mixtures documented from real-life incidents.
  • 497, Classification of Flammable Liquids, Gases, or Vapors and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas. (2008). Contains detailed guidelines and diagrams that assist in Class I hazardous (classified) area classification for the purpose of properly selecting and installing electrical equipment that will not be an ignition source in environments where flammable or combustible liquids, gases, or vapors are processed or handled.
  • 704, Standard for the Identification of the Fire Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response. (2007). Provides a readily recognized and easily understood system, the "Diamond Hazard", for identifying specific hazards and their severity. Hazards are identified using spatial, visual, and numerical methods to describe in simple terms the relative hazards of a material. It addresses the health, flammability, instability, and related hazards that may be presented as short-term, acute exposures that are most likely to occur as a result of fire, spill, or similar emergency.
  • Data extracted from:
    • 77, Recommended Practice on Static Electricity. (2007). Identifies combustibility parameters and static electric characteristics.
    • 430, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers. (2004). Identifies oxidizer classifications for 90 chemicals.
      
    • 499, Classification of Combustible Dusts and of Hazardous (Classified) Locations for Electrical Installations in Chemical Process Areas. (2008). Identifies parameters to determine the degree and extent of hazardous locations for dusts, including National Electric Code (NEC) groups.
