The potential violation is against OSHA standard 1926.451(a)(1) (Scaffolds - General requirements) and 1926.451(g)(1) (Scaffolds - Fall Protection), as the use of a forklift to lift personnel requires compliance with specific standards, and a makeshift platform is explicitly prohibited under 1926.451(a)(1) and by the manufacturer.Specifically, it violates the general duty to use equipment according to manufacturer's instructions, often cited under:OSHA standard 1926.452(t)(2) (Additional Requirements Applicable to Specific Types of Scaffolds - Forklift Scaffolds): If this were an approved platform, it must be secured to the forks and meet specific requirements, which this makeshift one does not.OSHA standard 1926.602(c)(1)(viii) (Material Handling Equipment): Though for industrial trucks, the principle of using only approved platforms applies: "The use of forklifts for lifting personnel is strictly prohibited except where there is no other practical means of accessing the work area..." and only with a manufacturer-approved work platform.
