Safety Rules
Only properly trained and authorized personnel
should operate forklift trucks. Wear a hard hat and
safety shoes when operating a lift truck. Do not wear
loose clothing.
Inspect and check the condition of your forklift truck using
the operator's check list before starting work. Immediately
report to your supervisor any obvious defects or required
repairs.
Do not operate your truck in unauthorized areas. Know
your forklift truck and think safety. Do not compromise
safety. Follow all safety rules and read all warning signs.
Do not operate a lift truck unless you are in the
operator’s seat. Keep hands and feet inside the
operator’s compartment. Do not put any part of the
body outside of the operator’s compartment. Never
put any part of body into the mast structure or
between the mast and the truck
Do not start, stop, turn or change direction suddenly or at
high speed. Sudden movement can cause the lift truck to
tip over. Slow the speed of your truck and use the horn
near corners, exits, entrances, and near people.
In case of a truck with the steering knob, Do not operate
the steering knob suddenly, to prevent accident caused
by quick turning.
Never operate a lift truck with wet hands or shoes. Never
hold any controls with grease on your hands. Your hands
or feet will slide off of the controls and cause an accident.
