Prepare for Safe Operation
Plan Your Work
Before you operate, plan how and where you will travel,
turn and pick up, lift and place loads.
Choose a smooth level route to prevent possible tipover
or loss of load. If possible, avoid crossing:
— Ruts
— Ditches
— Curbs
— Exposed railroad tracks
When these conditions cannot be avoided, keep the
load as low as possible and travel VERY SLOWLY and
with EXTREME CAUTION.

Prepare For Safe Operation
Plan Your Work (continued)
Know where there are blind corner conditions on the
worksite. Before turning a blind corner, stop, sound the
horn and proceed slowly.
Always maintain a safe distance between your rough
terrain forklift truck and other personnel, equipment and
obstacles at the worksite.
Know the weights of all loads you may be expected
to transport before attempting to lift them. Secure
loose loads. Check that loads are properly banded or
strapped together.
If you are placing a load in an area where visibility is a
problem, use a signal person near the point where the
load will be landed.
If you plan to suspend (free-rig) loads, obtain written
instructions and approval from the equipment
manufacturer. Suspended loads are very dangerous.
