Rental Centers should consider "updating" their Rental Agreements (perhaps, by use of a signed addendum!) in order to provide for the OSHA Silica Dust and OSHA use of Powered Forklifts standards. OSHA enforcement (Federal, the State of California began enforcement several years ago) will commence on September 23, 2017, as to their Silica Dust Standards (e.g., silica dust is emitted during drilling, chipping, cutting, etc., of concrete, stone, clay, etc.). The standards require containment, respiratory protection, remediation, etc., for employees and indeed for third parties. So, how do the Silica Dust Standards apply to rental centers that merely rent their equipment to third parties that may or may not have employees? Well, besides the duty to warn and properly instruct, we recommend that the Rental Agreement utilized by rental centers be modified to advise/warn specifically of the OSHA requirements.

Rental Centers are reminded of the requirement to have an Electronic Login Device ("ELD") in their commercial motor vehicles ("CMV") by December 18, 2017, unless:

1. The CMV operates within a 100 mile radius of the rental center and returns to the rental center at the end of each day; 
2. If CMV operates outside of the 100 mile radius exemption, it is operated less than 8 times during a 30 day period and written logs are kept; or 
3. The CMV was manufactured prior to the year 2000. 
Essentially, ELD’s replace written logs and reflect driver’s hours, hours of service, duty status, etc. For further information, please see regulation 49CFR395.1(e). 

When it comes to workplace safety, ignorance is no defense. OSHA safety and health regulations often apply to all businesses, regardless of size. If you’re not sure which regulations apply to your business, OSHA provides some resources. It has created a Web-based step-by-step guide to help small employers identify some of the regulations that might apply to them.
