Forklift Safety

Forklift trucks are important in industrial workplaces for their ability to transport and lift heavy loads. Lift trucks are indispensable to many industrial worksites, but lift trucks could be dangerous without properly training employees. Forklift injuries, when they occur, tend to be serious because of the power of these heavy machines. Workers who work often around forklifts can become complacent and forget the dangers. Essential maintenance and operating measures may be ignored.

Forklift training is needed for new employees, but all operators have to undergo periodic re-training. First aid training is likewise vital.

Daily inspection procedures are of critical importance. Forklifts could become damaged if they are not checked frequently. Before being utilized, forklifts have to be visually inspected as to their general condition. An operational inspection should be performed to be able to determine the equipment is correctly working. The supervisor has to be alerted if anything is noted which could impact the safe use of the forklift.

Inspections should involve inspecting the work area to make sure it is clear of objects which might be a concern. Overhead objects and obstructions must be inspected too. It is vital to have a functioning fire extinguisher accessible and available. Various levels should be checked, such as fuel, radiator water, engine oil, and electrolyte levels in cells. Plugs, batteries and cables must be inspected. Clean out vent caps and ensure that nuts, bolts, guards, chains, and hydraulic hose reels are not missing, loose or damaged. A tire check would make sure that wheels are not damaged or worn. Pneumatic tires would require a pressure inspection.
