Before Operating An Electric Forklift:

• The work area is to be inspected to identify hazards and appropriate prevention/control measures are to be implemented.
• Forklifts, by their design, limit the operator’s vision. This must be taken into account when traffic movements are considered.
• Do not hold the steering wheel or levers when mounting or dismounting.
• Ensure the material is shifted using appropriate equipment such as drum lifters.
