way in which it is used. On using this type of equipment, hazards
similar to those present when driving other vehicles may occur:
bumps, impacts, turning over, trapped limbs, etc.
Some safety considerations that must be followed are listed
below:
-
Never exceed the forklift's load capacity.
Failure to follow this
rule may cause the vehicle to overturn, risking injury to both the
driver and to his or her colleagues. See load diagrams on the
forklift for this purpose.
-
Do not, under any circumstances, increase the weight of the
counterweight by adding additional loads,
especially by having
people climb onto the vehicle. If the load capacity of the forklift
is never exceeded, resorting to such tricks will never be
necessary.
-
Do not use two forklifts simultaneously to move heavy
or very
large loads as this is a dangerous operation that requires very
special precautions. This should only be attempted in
exceptional circumstances and under the supervision of the
head maintenance technician.
-
To lift a load safely, fully insert the forks underneath the load
,
lift the load slightly and immediately tilt the mast backwards.
-Before driving, check that the load is balanced and secure on
its support
. Whenever the forklift is laden, keep the forks
lowered and with the load tilted back towards the driver. This
will ensure greater stability.
-Before undertaking any maneuver,
check that there is nobody
in the immediate vicinity of the forklift,
especially when
reversing.
-When raising or lowering the forks,
the driver must make sure
his or her hands or feet,
or those of any colleague, cannot
become trapped.
-
Do not point the forks towards people working close to walls
or boxes.
-
Nobody should stand or walk under the raised forks,
even
when the vehicle is unladen.
-
Never leave the forklift with a raised load.
