Forklift Operator Training 102
codes of practice:
Similar to driving a car, when forklift operator operates a forklift they need to be diligent and aware at all times. They must know how to operate the forklift safely, both while it is empty and while using it to carry small and large loads. Handling hazardous materials with a forklift requires extra caution and care.
counterbalance and stability:
The goal of any forklift is to make jobs more efficient and increase production. Every load the operator carries will have a balance point and a special requirement to be sure the load and forklift don't topple over and cause an accident. To move loads safely the forklift operator must understand the stability triangle and how to steer and maneuver the forklift while carrying heavy materials. Handling ramps and other sloped surfaces that could affect the vehicle's stability, an important part of OSHA 1910.178(l)(3)(ii)(G).
vehicle inspection:
Before operating any forklift the forklift operator must inspect it. This inspection needs to include a close look at all the parts of the forklift, including the mechanics of the moving parts, the batteries and cables, and the physical body of the forklift itself. If any part of the forklift looks or behaves wrong, tag out the machine until a further inspection can be conducted. 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(3)(i)(J) requires employers give this training; "Any vehicle inspection and maintenance that the operator will be required to perform." to their forklift operators. Expressed are important requirements like "use personal protective equipment (PPE) when checking liquid propane tanks and fittings.
Refueling precautions:
Most forklifts are powered either by gasoline or diesel, and sometimes by a battery pack. If a forklift operator is refueling with a liquid fuel, they must do so outdoors in a well ventilated area. Batteries will require a specialized charging area which also needs to be well ventilated as they give off hydrogen gas. They should never smoke while refueling, as both liquid fuel and hydrogen gas are flammable.
attachments and platforms:
Anytime someone adds an attachment to a forklift, they will affect the way it moves. The balance will be different, the way it turns will be different, and operators will need to be prepared for these changes. When someone attaches a platform to a forklift they must never stand on it or let themselves be transported on it. All attachments and platforms must be secured properly using two independent methods of attachment.
