Safety regulations when driving
Driving conduct
The driver must observe public road traffic reg-
ulations when driving on company grounds.
Driving speed must be appropriate to the local
conditions.
For example, the driver must drive slowly
around corners, in tight passage ways, when
driving through swing-doors, at blind spots or
on uneven surfaces.
The driver must always maintain a safe brak-
ing distance from vehicles and persons in front
and always have the vehicle under control.
Sudden stopping, quick turning and over-
taking at dangerous or blind spots must be
avoided.
– Initial driving practice must be performed in
an empty space or on a clear driving lane.
The following are forbidden during driving:
• Allowing arms and legs to hang out
• Leaning over the outer edge of the forklift
truck
• Crossing from one vehicle to another or to
fixed components
• Moving the driver seat
• Adjusting the steering column
• Releasing the restraining belt
• Disabling the restraint system
• Driving with the load raised impermissibly
high
• Using mobile phones or radios.
WARNING
Risk of accident!
Use of mobile phones or radios in the vehicle is
permitted.
However, these devices must not be used while
driving or manipulating loads, since this affects
your concentration.
The volume of radios or hands-free systems must
be adapted to local conditions and must not affect
your concentration.
