Fork Lift Accidents
OSHA estimates that there are 680,400 accidents each year.
Over 100 resulted in death.
Of those reported nearly half suffered some type of injury.
“All Were Preventable”

Employees must be trained and certified prior to operation lift trucks.
Training will be provided as formal instruction such as lecturescomputer learning, videotape, or written material.
Employee must be tested on knowledge and perform practical exercises using lift truck prior to certification.
Operators must be evaluated every three years.

PLEASE CIRCLE THE CORRECT ANSWER
1. T F - Only trained and authorized operators shall be permitted to operate a powered industrial truck.
2. T F - When loads are raised and tilted forward, you change the center of gravity.
3. T F - Arms, legs, and other body parts should extend outside the overhead guard protection only when the truck is unloaded.
4. T F - The maximum weight of the load that your truck is allowed to carry is listed on the data plate.
5. T F - If a load is not carried as far back on the forks as possible, some load capacity can be lost.
6. T F - You can turn or stop a forklift suddenly if you are not carrying a load.
7. T F - Keep the forks as low as possible when traveling with or without a load.
8. T F - When traveling down a ramp or incline with a load, keep the counterweight upgraded.
9. T F - When following another lift truck, leave at least 3 truck lengths to allow room for stopping.
10. T F - Before entering a trailer, check to be sure that the trailer wheels have been properly chalked.

Data plates: lets the operator know
the following information:
Make Model Serial number Lift capabilities
Operators must know this information to
safely operate lift trucks
“Warning” OSHA can fine $25,000 for lift trucks that do not have data plates installed.

Rear-end steering: rear-end swing createshazard situations if driversare not properly trained.

Fulcrum Point: is a lift trucks center point of balance during lifting operations.
The weight of the load affects the center of balance in relation to the counterweight. Load

Basic Operating Rules
Employees must be trained and authorized to operate each specific lift truck. Must be re-evaluated every three years
Know controls and instrumentation. Location, what they do, and how they work.
Operating instructions Warnings, precautions, and hand signals used by company.
Pedestrian safety Know the areas where pedestrians will be working
Load manipulation Log/lumber stacking or loading of trucks.
Forklift Safety Training
Page 19
Basic Operating Rules (continued)
Fork attachment operation and use limitation.
Drive in reverse if view is obstructed.
Know the terrain or environment that lift truck(s) will be driven
No horseplay, speeding or stunt driving allowed.
Always scan ahead to watch for pedestrians and blind spots
Forklift Safety Training

Should equal your average walking speed
or about 5 MPH.

Signs prohibiting unauthorized foot or vehicle
traffic in log unloading and storage areas shall
be posted.

Pedestrians
Never allow anyone to walk under a load
See a hazard?
Forklift Safety Training
Page 32
If visibility is restricted, drive in reverse.
Forklift Safety Training
Page 33
If someone were accidentally struck lift forks, it is much less lift threatening to be hit
around the ankles than in the abdomen.
The rule to remember is to drive with the forks as low as possible.
Forks
Forklift Safety Training
Page 34
Drive with load 4 to 6 inches off the ground or surface.
Forklift Safety Training
Page 35
Know your correct distances when loading/unloading trailers
Forklift Safety Training
Page 36
Watch for load shifts
Forklift Safety Training
Page 37
When driving up a ramp or incline the rule is to drive up and back down
Forklift Safety Training
Page 38
Drive Up
Back Down
Forklift Safety Training
Page 39
Never raise someone using the forks
Forklift Safety Training
Page 40
This is considered an imminent danger situation and could result in a $5,000 OSHA fine

Make sure dock plates are properly
in position.

Loading platformsthat are 48 or more inchesoff the ground must have barrierprotection to guard against fall hazard.

Parking Lift TrucksThree Rules
Rule # 1Forks on the ground
Forklift Safety Training
Page 52
Rule # 2Set Parking Brake
Forklift Safety Training
Page 53
Rule # 3 If more than 25 feet away from lift it must be turned off.
See a hazard?
Never leave an unattended load elevated

Overhead Hazards
Forklift Safety Training
Page 55
What about railroad crossings?
Forklift Safety Training
Page 56
Forklifts should cross tracks at an angle -- not straight on
Because most forkliftshave a three-point
suspension and crossing straight on could cause the
lift to lose its center of balance
Forklift Safety Training
Page 57
Crossing at an angle will ensure the load maintains its stability

Forklift Maintenance
&
Pre-Start InspectionRequirements
Forklift Safety Training
Page 59
OSHA requires powered industrial trucks to have a documented pre-start inspection
prior to each shift.
Maintenance and Pre-start Inspection

Seat Belts
Seat belts are requiredto be worn during alloperations.

To inspect the mast chains raise the fork about 6 inches
Next Slide
Forklift Safety Training
Page 69
Mast chains should be tight. If they are loose it could
cause a load to shift

Refueling Operations.
Make sure lift is properly parked and brakes on
Forklift Safety Training
Page 71
Park at a safe refueling distance from pump.

LOCKOUT/TAGOUT PROCEDURE
1. Turn ignition switch to the Off position.2. Disconnect battery before performing repairs on electrical equipment.3. Set brakes and chalk wheels.4. Lower blade or lifting device to ground.
CAUTION: if lifting device must be elevated for repairs there must be a positive means of support; chains, blocks, etc..)
5. Release hydraulic pressure by engaging controls or as required.6. Release pneumatic (air) pressure by valves, bleeding system or as required.7. Allow thermal energy to dissipate on engine, hydraulic systems.8. Allow moving parts to come to a “zero energy” state before performing
maintenance.
Vehicle Lockout
Forklift Safety Training
Page 75
Vehicle Lockout
RESTORING TO NORMAL OPERATIONS
1. Account for all tools.2. Replace all guards and/or cover plates.3. Reconnect battery power.4. Inform affected employees that vehicle is ready for start-up.5. Vehicle in start-up condition.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES
“CAUTION” : Do not allow anyone to walk under a raised blade or lifting device. Crushing injury can occur.
“Continued”
Forklift Safety Training
Page 76
Use the correct lift for the job. Only trained and authorized employees are allowed to operate lift trucks. Complete a daily pre-start inspection. Do not park lift trucks in front of fire exits, isles, fire extinguishers, or electrical boxes. No passengers are allowed on lift trucks. Do not allow anyone to walk under raised forks whether loaded or empty. Stop and sound horn at all entrances and exit of buildings. Chock the rear trailer wheels when loading or unloading trailers at a loading dock. Do not park lift trucks on a grade. Do not raise or tilt the forks while driving. Drive with the forks raised only high enough to clear obstacles, preferably 4 - 6 inches. Wear of seat belts is mandatory. No smoking during refueling operations. Drive at the speed of normal walking, usually 5 MPH.
