Preventing Injuries and Deaths from Skid-Steer Loaders

The first edition of this Alert incorrectly referenced several OSHA regulations as ap-plying to skid-steer loaders. This revised edition removes references to those stan-dards. In addition, this revised Alert addresses differences in skid-steer loader de-sign and contains several minor revisions and changes in wording to improve clarity.
