26. Avoid Running over Loose Objects
Remove hazardous loose objects rather than driving over or around them. Avoid holes and bumps that might disturb your load.
27. Always Watch Load and Mast Overhead Clearance
Be sure of sufficient headroom under overhead installations such as lights, wiring, pipe work, sprinkler systems, doorway lintels, conveyors. Keep the mast
as low as possible in all areas where overhead clearances are limited.
28. Watch Side Clearance
Watch your side clearance, especially with wide loads. Where possible, drive in the center of the aisle to avoid endangering personnel or equipment.
29. Keep Hands and Feet inside the Truck
While driving, do not put your arms or legs outside the forklift truck, you only have one set of each. Take care of them.
30. Watch Rear End Swing
Because the rear wheels steer your truck the rear end swings wide when you turn. Use care in aisles and other tight places.
31. Do Not Allow the Fork Tips to Strike Objects
Extreme care should be exercised when driving near anyone in front of any fixed object. Always keep the forks down when traveling.
32. For Better Vision with Bulky Loads, Drive Backward
If your front view is obstructed by an extra wide load, drive in reverse so you can see where you are going. Better still, have a co-worker guide you.
