• Always wear proper work clothes for driving. Work clothes
should be designed to prevent any part from accidentally
catching on knobs or other parts of the truck or equipment. For
example, shirts and trousers should have tight cuffs.
• Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes.
• Wear other protective gear as appropriate to the conditions of
the work site, i.e., goggles or gloves.

PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
Fire extinguishers and first aid kits should be provided and
maintained for use in case of a fire or accident. All personnel
should understand the location and use of emergency equipment.
■
TRAIN OPERATOR TO STACK SAFELY
Stacking
Unstacking
“Stacking” means piling up a palleted load or material directly on
top of each other, without using racks or shelves to separate them.
If stacking work is not done properly, the loads may slip or fall,
endangering the operator as well as fellow workers in the area.
Safety classes should be held to train all operators in the proper
method of stacking and unstacking loads.
(Your UniCarriers dealer can provide information about safety stacking
training.)

TIRED OR UNWELL? SEND THEM HOME!
Do not let people take chances. An operator who is overworked or
fatigued, an operator who is feeling unwell, or an operator who is
intoxicated must not be allowed in the driver’s seat.
