• Description:
  To prevent forklift injuries: Do not operate a forklift without being certified and trained. Forklift operators should wear their safety belts. Do not jump from an overturning forklift. Keep your body inside the forklift frame. Ride it out and lean in the opposite direction of the overturn. Do not place yourself between two forklifts. Do not handle loads that are heavier than the load capacity of the forklift. Make sure that the travel path of the forklift is clear from the floor to the height of the load being moved. Do not step on elevated loads. It is a violation of a Federal law for anyone under 18 years of age to operate a forklift. [Description provided by NIOSH]
