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.
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.
