Know the Hazards
DRIVE CAREFULLY
• Keep your hands on the controls and feet on the
pedals/pads. Keep your entire body in the operator
area.
• Never stick a foot or any part of your body outside
the operator area, no matter how slow the truck is
moving. You cannot stop 3630 kg (8000 pounds)
with any part of your body. A foot or hand caught
between the truck and a fixed object will be crushed
or even cut off.
• Stay away from the edge of docks and ramps. Make
sure dockboards are secure. Check that trailer
wheels are chocked. You could be seriously injured
or even killed in a fall from a dock or dockboard.
• Keep your truck under control at all times. Drive at a
speed that allows you to stop safely. Be even more
careful on slippery or uneven surfaces. Do not drive
over objects on the floor.
• Always be alert to the area around you and watch
where you are driving. You could be pinned or
crushed by objects intruding or poking into the
operator area.
