Even with safe operation, a vehicle defect can cause or contribute to a serious accident. Assuming your vehicle passes pre-use inspection, follow these tips from the Washington Division of Occupational Safety and Health to help ensure safe forklift operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-basic-forklift-safety-rules\">Basic Forklift Safety Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic rule for safe forklift operation is that you maintain control of your forklift at all times. Other rules include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Operate a forklift only while in the seat or operator\u2019s station. Never start it or operate the controls while standing beside the forklift.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never allow passengers unless the forklift was designed for a passenger.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not put any part of your body between the uprights of the mast or when traveling, outside of the forklift frame.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always look in the direction of travel and keep a clear view of the travel path. Travel in reverse if the load blocks your view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always observe posted speed limits at your workplace. A forklift should not be driven faster than a quick walking pace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep a distance of at least three forklift lengths between you and any forklift traveling in front of you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not pass another forklift traveling in the same direction if it is at a blind spot, intersection or other dangerous location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never drive a forklift up to anyone in front of a bench or other fixed object.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never allow anyone to walk or stand under the elevated forks \u2013 even if the forks are not carrying a load.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check that there is adequate clearance under beams, lights, sprinklers, and pipes for the forklift and load to pass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never engage in stunt driving or horseplay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-to-prevent-forklift-accidents\">Tips to Prevent Forklift Accidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Provide Proper Training, and supervise new or inexperienced drivers. consider eye exams as well as driving assessments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post Warning Signs and Traffic Markings. Wherever foot traffic and forklifts must co-exist, forklift safety signs are a must. Consider floor tape and heavy-duty floor labels to mark changing floor grades, forklift lanes and to alert pedestrians.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow Down. OSHA advises drivers to stay at or below 5 miles per hour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower the Load. OSHA recommends carrying loads as near to the ground as possible &#8211; about 4 inches from the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Operators Under Age 18. That&#8217;s a Federal law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow Down Before Turning. Forklifts are designed to balance heavy loads, so without a load they can be a bit tippy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No Riders on the Forklift. They&#8217;re not designed for passengers, so riders can easily fall &#8211; or distract the driver and indirectly cause an accident.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Forklift is Not a Ladder. Lifting workers on forks to reach items or work at heights is not a good idea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the Right Tool. Lift trucks are available in varied sizes and designs, so choose one that fits your workplace<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\">&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-forklift-safety-resources\">Forklift Safety Resources:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lni.wa.gov\/forms-publications\/F417-031-000.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the complete State of Washington Forklift Safety Guide here (pdf).<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/powered-industrial-trucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Visit the OSHA forklift safety page.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/training\/library\/materials?menu1=poweredindustrialtrucks&amp;button=#poweredindustrialtrucks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read and download sample OSHA daily safety checklists for forklifts<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certifyme.net\/osha-blog\/complete-guide-to-osha-forklift-regulations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about forklift safety and training<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/blog\/how-to-maintain-forklifts-every-season\/\">How to maintain forklifts in every season.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/compliancesigns.com\/products\/transportation\/forklift-signs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Browse forklift safety signs at ComplianceSigns.com.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.compliancesigns.com\/pl\/safety-poster\/forklift-safety\">Browse forklift safety posters<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forklifts must be checked for defects daily, usually by the operator before beginning a shift.
