The feasible and acceptable methods of abatement include: ? Not allowing employees to ride in the pickup truck bed while the vehicle is in motion to perform sign placement and retrieval. ? Ensure employees only ride in vehicle areas equipped with a seat and safety belt, as referenced in all editions of the 2004 Ford F-150 vehicle manual available on Ford's website at http://owner.ford.com. ? In the event the practice is required to complete the task ensure the employee is restrained within the pickup truck bed using an ANSI- approved fall restraint system.
