WATCH OUT FOR OTHER PEOPLE
• Slow down. Yield or stop for pedestrians. Use your
horn when you come to a crosswalk or intersection.
• Be careful that you don't pin or crush someone.
For example: Never drive your truck toward anyone
standing in front of a xed object.
• Never allow passengers on your truck.
• Watch out for power unit swing.
• Keep others away from your truck while you're
working. Don't ever allow anyone on or under the
load or forks.
• Don't let anyone use your truck unless they are
trained and certified.
• Never lift anyone with the forks unless they are using
an approved work platform. Even then use extreme
caution:
• Use a securely attached and approved work
platform.
• Make certain lifting mechanism is operating
properly.
• Have load backrest vertical (never tilt when
elevated).
• Make certain truck is in neutral and brake is
applied.
• Lift and lower slowly.
• Watch for overhead obstructions.
• Be sure you can see and hear the person being
lifted.
• Never transport anyone on the work platform from
one location to another.
