FOREWORD. This publication, which was developed by the Material Handling Industry of America, a division of the Material Handling Industry, along with one of its Industry Groups (i.e., Product Sections, Affiliated Trade Associations, and Product Councils) (collectively referred to as “MHIA”), is intended to provide useful information and guidance for owners, users, designers, purchasers and/or specifiers of material handling equipment or systems. It is advisory only and should only be regarded as a simple tool that its intended audience may or may not choose to follow, adopt, modify, or reject. The following information does not constitute a comprehensive safety program, cannot guard against pitfalls in operating, selecting and purchasing such a system, and should not be relied upon as such. Such a program should be developed, and an independent adviser should be consulted in doing so.
