1. Pre-operation preparation

Check the forklift

Check the tire pressure for normalcy, and for any damage or wear and tear.

Check the oil and coolant levels within normal limits.

Check brake system sensitivity and reliability.

Check the lights and horn for normal operation.

Personal protective equipment

Wear personal protective equipment such as safety helmets and shoes.

 

2. Precautions during operation

Limit speed

Control the speed of the forklift in accordance with workplace regulations.

Reduce speed in curved and narrow passageways.

Maintain clear visibility

Ensure the rearview mirror and windshield of the forklift are clean and free from obstacles.

Loading and unloading of goods

Load weight must not exceed the rated capacity of the forklift.

Lifting and lowering of goods must be done steadily, avoiding jerky movements.

When picking up goods, ensure that the forks are completely inserted at the bottom of the goods.

Driving route

Follow the designated driving route and avoid driving in areas with a high concentration of people.

Do not drive across slopes horizontally.

Collaboration with others

Maintain good communication and collaboration with surrounding personnel.

Sound the horn to warn pedestrians or other vehicles.

 

3. Parking and storage

Safe parking

Park on a flat and solid surface.

Engage the handbrake and lower the forks to the ground.

Turn off the power and remove the key.

Storage requirements

The forklift should be parked in the designated storage area.

If stored for a long period, protective measures such as covering with a dustproof cover should be taken.

 

4. Special situation handling

Sudden breakdown

In the event of a forklift breakdown, immediately stop the operation and report to maintenance personnel.

Adverse weather

During adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain and strong winds, operate with caution or temporarily suspend work.

 

For example, in the warehouse of a large factory, forklift drivers operate strictly according to these safety regulations. Before each operation, they carefully inspect various performance indicators of the forklift. When loading and unloading goods, they cooperate closely with colleagues and operate carefully to ensure the safety of goods and personnel. When encountering sudden brake failures, the driver quickly takes emergency measures to stop the forklift smoothly, avoiding accidents.

 

In conclusion, strictly adhering to safety regulations for forklift operation is the key to ensuring the safety of life and property, and improving work efficiency. #Safety #Forklift #SpecialOperationCertificate
