SafeTips
Forklifts

• Read and understand the owner’s manual.
• Wear the seatbelt.
• Take your time—don’t speed.
• Know how heavy your load is and the lifting capacity of your forklift. Don’t exceed the capacity.
• Be aware of your surroundings and the path your are going to travel.
• A forklift isn’t a scaffold or a taxi—don’t lift or transport people on the forks or on pallets on the forks. Use an approved work platform.
• Sound the horn as you drive around a corner.
• Don’t allow your load to prevent you from seeing ahead.
