Section 296-24-73505. Aisles and passageways.

(1) You must ensure that where mechanical handling equipment is used, sufficient safe clearances are allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage must be made. You must keep aisles and passageways clear and in good repairs, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard.

(2) You must ensure that permanent aisles and passageways are appropriately marked. "Appropriate" does not limit the marking to printed lines on the floor only. Other appropriate methods may be marked pillars, powder stripping, flags, traffic cones, or barrels, provided they are maintained in good repair and the recognition of such markings are included in the training programs for vehicle operators and employees.

(3) You must ensure that all trestles in connection with industrial plants on which cars run, which are also used as walkways for workers, are equipped with a walkway on the outer edge, so located as to give safe minimum clearance of 3 feet to cars. Such walkways must be equipped with standard rails. Where a trestle crosses a driveway or passageway the trestle over such points must be solidly boarded over.
