This document provides an overview of forklift safety training. It discusses proper forklift operation, including only allowing trained operators, carrying loads within capacity, and tilting loads forward for unloading. Additional safety topics covered include using seatbelts, driving safely, inspecting forklifts daily, refueling safely, and maintaining awareness of blind spots. Operators must follow rules for loading and unloading, driving on ramps and surfaces, parking, and intersections. The goal is to educate operators on OSHA regulations to ensure safe forklift operation.

- 49. Intersections Intersections As you drive, watch out for people walking, and at intersections, slow down, look for traffic, and sound your horn frequently. Remember, ALWAYS come to a complete stop before changing direction.
- 50. Raised Forks Keeping Work Area Clear Never let anyone, including yourself, walk or stand under the forks when they are raised
- 51. No Riders No Riders Keep in mind that you are a lift truck operator, not a taxi service. You should never allow anyone to ride on your lift truck.
- 52. Safety Devices Wear Your Seatbelt Seat Belt - Most lift trucks are equipped with a seat belt. Use it!
- 53. Safety Devices Using Your Horn Often Horn - Sound your horn: * Before backing up * At intersections * When traveling through doors * Anywhere your vision is limited or blocked
- 56. Forklift inspection and maintenance All forklifts be examined at least daily before being used. Forklifts used on a round-the-clock basis must be examined after each shift. Check the following: Fluid levels -- oil, water, and hydraulic fluid. Leaks, cracks or other visible defect in hydraulic hoses and mast chains. Tire pressure and tire cuts or gouges. Condition of the forks, including the top clip retaining pin. Safety decals and nameplates in place and legible. All safety devices working properly including the seat belt. A vehicle that is damaged, defective or otherwise unsafe must be removed from service. Report the problem to your supervisor immediately. U.S. Army MSHA

- OSHA = Occupational Safety & Health Administration.
- First thing – It is against the law for anyone under 18 to operate a forklift. This is both a Washington State and federal law.
- Forklift fatalities have occurred when the operator was either thrown out of the forklift or they tried to jump out when the forklift overturned. Seat belts prevent that.
- This photo show the parts of a standard forklift. Other types will vary. All use hydraulic fluid to operate the forks. Most have a large counterweight in the rear to help balance a load on the front. Most have an overhead guard to protect the operator from falling objects. The main lifting work of the forklift is done with the forks and the mast, powered by the motor. Sometimes, older forklifts will develop a leak of hydraulic fluid. Without sufficient hydraulic fluid the forks will not operate properly, especially with a load. And a puddle of hydraulic fluid on a cement floor is a slipping hazard.
- The nameplate gives important information about the capacity of the forklift. These must be readable at all times so any one who operates the forklift will know it's capacity and to not overload it.
- Sometimes people will try to use a forklift with a stack of pallets on the forks to gain access to something out of reach. Don’t be a part of this practice, since the worker on the pallet can easily fall off.
- Order picker forklifts used in warehouses where the worker stands on the platform that raises and lowers presents a fall hazard. Workers who use this type of equipment must be protected by either a guard rail or the appropriate fall protection harness as shown. Waist-only harnesses, also called “body belts”, are not acceptable unless they completely prevent the operator from falling off the order-picker.
- In warehouses with high storage racks, the lightest loads should be placed on the top racks, and the heavier loads on the bottom racks. Remember a forklift is less stable with a load raised high, especially while moving.
- As you can see from these illustrations, the center of gravity of the load should be as close to the forklift wheels and mast as possible.
- It goes without saying – just like any other moving vehicle, watch your speed. It's especially dangerous in a workplace with nearby workers and walls, doors, racks or stored material that block your view. As mentioned before, it's harder to stop a heavy forklift with a load than a car, even at low speeds.
- Mast configuration can affect the operator's visibility. Newer mast designs use two side cylinders with a gap in the middle which provide much improved visibility compared to older mast designs that have a single central cylinder. But with a tall load, your forward view will be blocked, making it necessary to travel in reverse or use a spotter.
- If your company has no assigned person to do forklift inspection and maintenance, the responsibility is yours. You should double check even if the company has maintenance personnel. If you operate a propane powered forklift indoors, check for noticeable propane or exhaust odors which mean an engine tuneup is required to keep carbon monoxide levels low. More about that in the slides following.
