Forklifts and telehandlers

Lift equipment shares the site with people on foot. Most incidents involve someone walking where the operator can't see.

Key points

• Only trained, authorized operators run the machine.
• Do the daily check before starting.
• Keep loads low while traveling and within the load chart.
• Make eye contact with the operator before walking near.
• Never ride on the forks or stand under a raised load.

Ask the crew

• Where are people on foot crossing the equipment path today?
• Who is spotting when the operator can't see?
