The state has adopted the federal workplace safety and health rules for powered industrial trucks, including forklifts, by reference (803 KAR 2:313 in general industry and 803 KAR 2:413 in construction).
Kentucky has its own federally approved occupational safety and health regulatory program. The Kentucky Labor Cabinet, Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Program (KyOSH), governs both public and private sector workplaces, except for the Tennessee Valley Authority and federal facilities.
