Forklift / Powered Industrial Truck Training

Overview: 

Overview Operators must be trained and evaluated Only drive the types of trucks on which you have been trained 1a

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Don’t stand or pass under raised forks Only handle stable loads within truck’s rated capacity 2a

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Use a safety platform to lift people Only use approved trucks in hazardous locations Look in direction of travel 2b

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Don’t drive up to anyone in front of a fixed object Allow no riders Keep arms, legs in truck 2c

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Keep the load close to the ground Obey speed limits 2d

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Slow down, sound horn at intersections Maintain safe following distances, clearance No stunt driving, horseplay 2e

Forklift rules: 

Forklift rules Secure truck trailers before entering Lower forks, neutralize controls, shut off engine, and set brakes when truck is unattended 2f

Workplace-related topics: 

Workplace-related topics Surface conditions, ramps, slopes Composition of loads 5a

Workplace-related topics: 

Workplace-related topics Pedestrian traffic Narrow aisles Hazardous locations Ventilation 5b

Forklifts vs. automobiles: 

Forklifts vs. automobiles Rear-wheel steering Different centers of gravity Different controls Heavy loads 6a

Controls and instrumentation: 

Controls and instrumentation Unintentional, mistaken operation can cause serious accidents 7a

Engine and motor operation: 

Engine and motor operation Gasoline, LP gas, propane, or battery 8a

Steering and maneuvering: 

Steering and maneuvering Rear-end steering No standard steering wheel Often drive in reverse 9a

Operator visibility: 

Operator visibility Loads can restrict vision Look in the direction of travel Check blind spots 10a

Forks: 

Forks Additions/modifications may affect stability, safe operation Attachments can restrict/limit operation 11a

Vehicle capacity: 

Vehicle capacity Only handle loads within truck’s rated capacity Capacity is found on nameplate 12a

Vehicle stability: 

Vehicle stability Center of gravity shifts as load is raised Truck is less stable with raised load 13a

Vehicle stability: 

Vehicle stability During a tip over stay with vehicle, lean away from direction of fall Don’t jump down as truck tips 13b

Inspection and maintenance: 

Inspection and maintenance Follow procedures, schedules Pre-operation safety checks 14a

Inspection and maintenance: 

Inspection and maintenance Damage, defects, unusual conditions Remove unsafe trucks from service 14b

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Pre- Operation Daily Checklist

Fueling/charging of batteries: 

Fueling/charging of batteries Exposes workers to hazardous chemicals, electrical hazards 15a

Fueling/charging of batteries: 

Fueling/charging of batteries No smoking, flames, sparks, arcs Keep tools, metallic objects away from uncovered batteries 15b

Operator information: 

Operator information Operating instructions Warnings, precautions Limitations 16a

Retraining/re-evaluation: 

Retraining/re-evaluation Triggered by certain events Evaluate at least every 3 years 18a
