Forklift Safety:
Inspect all items before moving a load. Cages offer protection. Check pallets
and remove any loose items. Wear a helmet for additional protection. Make sure
all the loads are secure. Lower loads to move. Forklift cages are designed to
protect the operator from falling debris or to offer minimal protection during
a rollover. Fork lifts should be equipped with a seatbelt, which must be used
at all times that the operator is in the forklift. The fork lift should also
carry a portable fire extinguisher. The most important part of moving a load
is to ensure that the load is stable and secure before beginning the task. All
items to be lifted by engaging forks must be on a pallet. Pallets are designed
to permit the forks to completely engage during the forklift operation. Damaged
pallets should never be used for forklift operations. Further, items on a pallet
must be secured. This is normally accomplished by shrink wrapping the items to
be moved. Lifting straps or metal banding are also acceptable ways of securing
large items. Before lifting, make sure the pallet is clear of any loose items
such as screw drivers, nails or other items that may have been used to secure
the pallet. These unsecured items can act as projectiles during a lift. That
is why helmets are recommended for additional protection.
Stability of loads is greatly enhanced by lowering the load before and during
fork lift movement. The forks should be placed so as not to scrape any low lying
obstacles and the pallet height (including load) must be low enough not to interfere
with the forklift driver's vision. If vision is impaired, it is necessary to
have a spotter at all times, or to drive the forklift backwards to assure proper
vision at all times.
