PLANNING AND WORKING AREA
1-5
■
INSTALL CURBS OR RAILINGS
If the truck is to be used on a loading dock, shore wall or other
raised surface, install curbs or railings.
■
DO NOT RELY ON THE OVERHEAD GUARD
The overhead guard is a protective device that will moderate the
impact of an object falling from overhead, but it cannot withstand
every impact. If a heavy object seems likely to fall on the truck,
make every effort to prevent it from doing so.
■
KEEP THE GROUND LEVEL AND DRY
Be sure that all areas where the lift truck travels are level and
regular. Clear away pools of oil or water.
■
SAFETY MEASURES FOR DANGER SPOTS
Post warning signs or take other appropriate measures to ensure
that lift truck operators keep away from danger spots as they
travel.
