FOR SUPERVISORS
Lift truck accidents cause dozens or hundreds of
deaths every year, and even greater numbers of
personal injuries.
UniCarriers has steadily improved the design and
fabrication of our lift trucks so they may be used
more safely and efciently, but many accidents still
occur due to improper use. Accidents are often
the result of more than just “bad driving”. The use
of inappropriate types of equipment, the selection
of inappropriate attachments or accessories,
inappropriate operating environments, careless
designation of operators, and failure to properly
train the operator are other common causes of
accidents.
It is not possible to describe all potentially
hazardous situations which may occur while
operating, inspecting or servicing a forklift truck.
The warnings and cautions in this manual, including
the decals attached to the forklift, are not intended
to cover all possible working hazards.
If you operate, inspect or service the forklift in a
manner not described in this manual, please be
careful because you do so at your own risk.
This chapter covers the methods of accident
prevention which are primarily the responsibility of
supervisory personnel.
