Forklift Safety

Forklift inspection, operation, load handling, and pedestrian awareness for safer material movement.

  • Pre-use inspection and safe operating habits are essential before a forklift moves.
  • Pedestrian awareness and clear communication reduce struck-by and crush risks.
  • Load limits, visibility, and surface conditions should guide operating decisions.
  • Forklift safety depends on the surrounding site setup as much as the operator.
