FORKLIFT SAFETY RULES

1. Only certified operators may operate forklifts or electric pallet jacks.

2. A Pre-Operational Inspection Checklist must be filled out by the first person on each shift that uses the lift or jack.

3. NO riders.

4. Honk horn at ALL intersections.

5. Only raise a co-worker by using the Safety Cage and secure the cage using the chain.

6. Whenever not in use, park the lift so it doesn’t block an aisle. Put the forks on the floor.

7. Check to verify that truck drivers have chocked their wheels BEFORE loading or unloading a truck.

8. Never move the forklift while your view is obstructed.
