29 CFR 1910.140 · Personal fall protection systems

29 CFR 1910.140(c)(12)

Anchorages used to attach to personal fall protection equipment on mobile work platforms on powered industrial trucks must be attached to an overhead member of the platform, at a point located above and near the center of the platform.

29 CFR 1910.140(d)(2)(ii)
