Safety Regulations for the Operation of Forklift Trucks
Driver authorisation
The forklift truck may only be used by suitably trained
personnel, who have demonstrated to the proprietor or his representative that they
can drive and handle loads and have been authorised to operate the truck by the
proprietor or his representative.
Driver’s rights, obligations and responsibilities:
The driver must be informed of
his duties and responsibilities and be instructed in the operation of the truck and shall
be familiar with the operator manual. The driver shall be afforded all due rights. Safety
shoes must be worn with pedestrian operated trucks. Travel with a raised load is
prohibited (max. height above ground = 500 mm).

it is in use. The drive must prevent unauthorised persons from driving or operating the
truck. Do not carry passengers or lift other people.
Damage and Faults:

or faults to the forklift truck. Trucks which are unsafe for operation (e.g. wheel or brake
problems) must not be used until they have been rectified.
Repairs:
The driver must not carry out any repairs or alterations to the industrial truck
without the necessary training and authorisation to do so. The driver must never
disable or adjust safety mechanisms or switches.
Hazardous area:
A hazardous area is defined as the area in which a person is at risk
due to truck movement, lifting operations, the load handler (e.g. forks or attachments)
or the load itself. This also includes areas which can be reached by falling loads or
lowering operating equipment.

Unauthorised persons must be kept away from the hazardous area. Where there is
danger to personnel, a warning must be sounded with sufficient notice. If
