Forklift Training Program Safety Guidelines:

Forklift training programs are designed to guarantee that the operator is able to control the forklift safely in traveling, lifting and tilting. Just qualified operators should drive a forklift.

While the forklift is in operation; head, arms, hands, feet and legs should be kept inside the forklift. Lift truck forks should be kept low to the ground while being slightly tilted back. Observe posted traffic signs. Honk the horn and lessen speed if taking a corner. If the vision of the driver is blocked by the load, slowly drive backwards. Pre-check the ground for possible dangers, such as wet or oily spots, objects, rough patches, holes, people and vehicles. Prevent stopping immediately.

If pedestrians pass across the vehicle or moves into a blind spot, the forklift should be stopped, the load lowered, waiting until the way is clear. If a load is being transported on an incline, the forks must be pointed uphill with a load and downhill without a load. The forklift must just be turned around if on level ground.

Safety guidelines while steering - Never turn the steering wheel sharply if traveling fast. Turn making use of the rear wheels and support the load by the front wheels. An overloaded truck will be hard to steer. Adhere to load restrictions. Do not add a counterweight in order to improve steering.

Safety tips when loading - Follow the suggested capacity and load limits of the lift truck. This information is displayed on the data plate. Always make certain that the load is positioned according to the suggested load centre. The lift truck will remain stable so long as the load is kept near the front wheels.

Before inserting the forks into the pallet, the mast of the forklift must be in an upright position. Level the forks before inserting them.
