Hello Fellow MCIC Member Safety People,

We are having a rather heated in-house discussion regarding the need for
trailer jack stands to prevent trailer tipping when the tractor is not
coupled. OSHA addresses it in 1910.178(k)(3) with the words "may be"
instead of "shall be". Are any of you using them and if not, why not?
Have you had and incident of trailer tipping?

 

 

Thanks,

Dick McDonald
