Protect Yourself
Know the Hazards
WEAR YOUR OPERATOR HARNESS
Falls from a platform can cause serious injury or
even death.
• Put on your operator harness and attach the lanyard
before operating your truck. Read the warnings on
the harness.
• Check your harness and lanyard daily. Have them
replaced if they have ever been used to stop a fall,
or if they look damaged or worn.
LOOK WHERE YOU'RE DRIVING
• If you run into things you can be injured. You could
fall from the truck or the load could shift and hit you.
Make certain there is nothing in your path, on the
floor or sticking out of the racks.
• Always be alert to the area around you and watch
where you are driving.
• Be sure that any equipment added to your truck
(terminal, fan, clipboard, etc.) does not block your
vision or interfere with safe and efficient operation of
your truck.
USE YOUR TRUCK SAFELY
• Make sure your pallet, cart or fork mounted platform
is secure and won't slide or tip.
• Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts
such as masts or wheels. Don't sit or stand on the
side gates.
• Never stand on or under the forks, or allow anyone
else to stand on or under them. Never allow
passengers on the truck. There is no safe place
for them.
• Come to a complete stop before you leave your
truck. Lower the forks to the floor and shut the truck
off with the key switch.
Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Moving parts can
cut or crush hands,
feet, arms or legs.
