Forklift safety

The pre-use check, and sharing the floor with people

Title

In short

Forklift safety means checking the truck before each shift, driving with a clear view, keeping loads upgrade on ramps, staying in the seat during a tip-over and watching for pedestrians. This toolbox talk covers a five-part pre-use check and eight operator checks based on OSHA 1910.178, answered on phones.

The questions

  1. 1Forklift safety
  2. 2One word: what's the biggest forklift risk on our floor? live
  3. 3Pre-use check
  4. 4How often must a forklift be examined?Before use each day, or each shift if run round the clock · Once a week · Once a month · Only when something breaks live
  5. 5The pre-use check finds a defect. What do you do?Tag it out of service and report it · Drive it carefully · Use it till the end of the shift · Leave a note for the next driver live
  6. 6The load blocks your view ahead. How do you drive?In reverse, looking where you're going · Forward, leaning out · Forward, slowly with the horn on · Ask someone to walk in front live
  7. 7Driving down a ramp with a load. Which way does the load face?Upgrade: load pointing up the ramp · Downgrade: forks pointing down · Either way · Sideways across the ramp live
  8. 8A sit-down forklift starts to tip over. What do you do?Stay in, hold on, brace, lean away · Jump clear · Steer into the fall · Let go of the wheel live
  9. 9A coworker asks for a quick ride on the forks. What do you say?No, never · Only on a pallet · Only for short distances · Yes, if they hold on live
  10. 10Leaving the forklift unattended. What's the right state?Forks down, neutral, power off, brake set · Forks raised so nobody trips · Engine running for a quick stop · Parked on the ramp live
  11. 11You're coming to a blind corner with a pedestrian crossing. What do you do?Slow down, sound the horn, look · Speed through before anyone comes · Flash the lights only · Rely on the mirror live
  12. 123 years The longest an operator can go between performance evaluations under OSHA. Retraining is also needed after an incident or near miss.
  13. 13Where on our floor do forklifts and people get too close? live
  14. 14Check it. Belt on. Look twice.

How to run it

  1. 1If you can, run it next to a forklift and point to each part on the pre-use check.
  2. 2Ask operators and pedestrians to join: half the checks are about sharing the floor.
  3. 3Let everyone vote before you reveal. Answers and OSHA references are in the speaker notes.
  4. 4This is a refresher. Operators still need formal training and evaluation under OSHA 1910.178.

Questions people ask

What should a forklift pre-use inspection include?
A walk-around for leaks, tires, forks, mast and chains; fluids or battery; horn, lights and backup alarm; brakes, steering and hydraulic controls; and the seat belt.
How often do forklift operators need retraining?
OSHA requires an evaluation at least every three years, and refresher training after an incident, a near miss, unsafe operation or a change in truck or workplace.
What should you do if a forklift tips over?
On a sit-down truck, stay in the seat with the belt on, hold the wheel, brace your feet and lean away from the fall. Don't jump.
