If a lift truck is used to elevate a
worker, a safety platform must be
attached to the forks and carriage. The
platform must be specifically built to
meet or exceed the requirements of
ANSI/ITSDF B56.1. It must have a solid
floor with a surface to prevent the feet
of the worker from slipping, hand rail,
toe board, and a screen or shield at
least 2 m (7 ft) high between the people
on the platform and the lift mechanism.
The combined weight of the platform, load, and person-
nel is not to exceed one-half of the capacity as indica-
ted on the nameplate of the truck on which the platform
is used.
Before anyone is allowed in the platform, lift and lower
the mast slowly with the platform in place to make sure
the mast functions properly. Apply the parking brake.
DO NOT travel with people in the platform. The opera-
tor must remain at the controls. Watch for overhead
obstructions.
2. No Riders - A lift truck is built for only one person, the
operator. It is dangerous for anyone to ride on the forks or
anywhere else on the lift truck.
3. Hazardous Area - Operate the lift truck only in areas
that have been approved for lift truck operation. Certain
areas contain hazardous flammable gases, liquid, dust,
fibers, or other materials. Lift trucks that are operated in
these areas must have special fire safety approval.
These areas must be designated to show
the type of lift truck approval required for
operation in the area. Changes to special
equipment or poor maintenance can make
the lift truck lose its special approval.
