WHITEPAPERS

Forklifts are serious industrial tools that provide incredible utility when properly used. Improper set-up, maintenance and operation can cause accidents resulting in injury or costly damage to the equipment, infrastructure and goods. Help reduce risk by working through the checklist below. It helps identify some of the steps you may need to take to avoid the most common forklift accidents in your operation. FORKLIFT RISK CHECKLIST

// Risk 3: Fall from a height Operator, supervisor and manager training coupled with proper safety equipment can help minimize risk Are your operators trained to only raise people using equipment specifically intended for that purpose? Are ladders, scaffolding or aerial work platforms available, if required, and are you monitoring for proper use? Do you enforce the use of proper fall protection for each piece of equipment? // Risk 2: Falling loads Forklift and site-based safeguards can help protect against falling loads Are your forklift lanes wide and well-marked? Are operators trained to avoid sharp turns and moving, lifting or tilting the mast abruptly? Are safety rails or netting installed on the backs of racking where necessary to help prevent loads from being pushed off into adjacent aisles? Are operators trained to carefully secure loads of loose items? Are operators trained to center all forklift loads and spread the forks as wide apart as the load permits? Have you examined forks for bends or other damage that could make loads uneven? Is there a load backrest in place to prevent items from falling into the operator compartment? Are operators trained to always travel with the load upgrade? // Risk 1: Collisions Safeguards in and around your site can help your operators avoid collisions Is your warehouse space arranged in a thoughtful manner? Are measures in place to separate vehicles and pedestrians where possible? Have you implemented visual warnings, such as pedestrian awareness lights on forklifts and dress requirements mandating high-visibility vests? Do you have collision protection barriers, such as safety rails and bollards in place at strategic locations? Are there spacious parking areas with clear markings? Have you considered the use of speed limits or speed-limiting features in high-pedestrian traffic areas?
