Warning
Workplace situations are constantly changing. Check the work area before
beginning each shift. If in doubt, consult with the relevant supervisor.
Failure to observe new workplace conditions can lead to serious injury or
death.
1.7: Work Place Operating Conditions
Operators must be aware of special situations in their workplace in order to
avoid forklift accidents. Even if an operator works in the same area every day,
there could be changes that affect safety, such as:
 Contractors doing maintenance
 Wet areas
 Overhead repair work
Be on the lookout for anything that might present a hazard such as:
 Potholes
 Pedestrian traffic
 Very narrow aisle ways
 Overhead obstructions
 Poor lighting making it hard to see hazards
 Wet, oily, or rough terrain
 Other equipment or vehicles operating in the area
Remember: Do not block any of the following safety critical items/areas with
the truck or the materials being handled:
 Electrical panels
 Fire exits
 Emergency stop buttons
 Aisle ways
 Fire extinguishers/hoses
Ground Surface:
Floor, road and yard surfaces should be of adequate load capacity, firm,
smooth and level. Approaches to kerbs, railway crossings etc. should also be
firm, smooth and adequately ramped to prevent possible displacement.
Aisle Dimensions:
Aisles should be arranged to eliminate corners, angles, inclines, steep ramps,
narrow passages and low ceilings. When operating in guided aisles ensure
that the mast is retracted fully before entering the aisle. Enter the aisle slowly
to reduce the impact on rollers and guide rails.
