Forklift Safety: A Lifesaving Guide
• Keep load as low as possible, just above the ground when moving it.
• Make turns slowly.
• Go very slow on wet or slippery surfaces.
• Never leave the forklift unattended, this means the operator should never be
more then 25 feet away or out of line of site when the truck is powered.
While the forklift operator is ultimately responsible for the safety of the
machine it is also necessary that other employees understand safe operating
procedures. You should never take part in anything that is unsafe or
encourage other employees to take part in risky behavior. Keep in mind the
number of serious injuries and deaths that occur each year. You do not want
to become one of the statistics.
