Ignored Facts of Safe Forklift Operation

Motorized hand trucks (pallet jacks) require the same level of safety training as forklifts. (29CFR1910.78 and ANSI/ASME BS6.1-2000).

Forklifts have a three dimensional stability pyramid.  The higher you lift the narrower your margins for safety.

Forklifts should be driven in reverse if vision is impaired in the forward direction..

Refresher training is required after all unsafe happenings, not just “accidents”.

“Experience” is not training.

Not every supervisor is suited or even “Qualified” to do safety training.

A safety attitude is more important than just learning rules.
