• Description:
  To prevent injuries from forklifts while working: Before you operate a forklift, make sure that you are trained and certified. Remember if you are on a sit-down type forklift, and it starts to over-turn, lean in the opposite direction, stay with the forklift; don't jump. When operating a forklift on site, slow the truck and sound the horn at cross aisles, exits, and other employee traverse points. Before dismounting, set the parking brake, lower the forks or lifting carriage, and neutralize controls. [Description provided by NIOSH]
