Warning
Always be aware of overhead electrical power cables. Always remain a
safe distance from overhead power lines as an electric arc can occur even
when approaching an electric line. This poses a high risk, not only for the
operator but for other personnel nearby.
Headroom:
Structures over aisles, which may be potential obstacles should be defined
and marked with a conspicuous colour. Low doorways should be marked with
their clearance limits.
Power Lines:
If contact with a live electric source occurs:
Do not leave the truck until the electricity has been disconnected and a
qualified technician directs the operator to leave the machine.
If possible, drive the truck away from the danger area.
Warn any people around the truck not to get any closer and not to
touch the truck.
Arrange to have the power turned off.
The following table outlines the minimum clearance distance that must be
observed when working in the vicinity of power lines.
Operating in Hazardous Areas:
Standard trucks are not equipped to operate in cold stores, flammable or
explosive areas, corrosive atmospheres or areas containing a high degree of
dust contamination. Sparks from the exhaust or electrical system or hot parts
can ignite explosions and fires.
Do not attempt to lift or place a load in a poorly lit area where vision is
obscured or reduced.
Do not work in enclosed spaces where flammable materials, explosive
vapours, or combustible dust are found.
Stay clear of flammable materials such as hay, straw, paper and
cardboard.
Park the truck only in areas free of flammable materials.
