Industrial truck operation

Safety regulations for truck operation
Travel routes and work areas:
Only use lanes and routes specifically designated for
truck traffic. Unauthorised persons must stay away from work areas. Loads must only
be stored in places specially designated for this purpose.
Driving conduct:
The driver must adapt the travel speed to local conditions. The
truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passageways,
when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must always
observe an adequate braking distance between the forklift truck and the vehicle in
front and must be in control of the truck at all times. Abrupt stopping (except in
emergencies), rapid U turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots are not
permitted. It is forbidden to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating
area.
Visibility when travelling:
The driver must look in the direction of travel and must
always have a clear view of the route ahead. When carrying loads which affect
visibility, these must be stored at the rear of the truck. If this is not possible, a second
person must walk in front of the truck as a lookout.
Negotiating slopes and inclines:
Negotiating climbs or dips is only permitted if such
roads are clean and have a non-slip surface and providing such journeys are safely
undertaken in accordance with the technical specifications for that vehicle. The truck
must always be driven with the load unit facing uphill. Turning, travelling at an angle
and parking the forklift are not allowed on inclines or dips. Inclines must only be
negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake at any moment.
Negotiating lifts and docks:
Lifts and docks must only be used if they have sufficient
capacity, are suitable for driving on and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The
driver must satisfy himself of the above before entering these areas. The truck must
enter lifts with the load in front and must take up a position which does not allow it to
come into contact with the walls of the lift shaft.
Persons riding in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck has
come to a rest and must leave the lift before the truck.
Nature of loads to be carried:
Only carry properly secured loads. Never transport
loads stacked higher than the top of the fork carriage or the load guard.
