Learn Best Practices with Our Forklift Operator Training

We'll impart best practices to your team when using our forklift operator training. These are designed to help keep your team and your product safe while avoiding unnecessary accidents and complications. Some of the best practices are basic such as always using the lift truck's operator seat belt or restraint system, or stay inside the operator compartment, and never reaching into moving parts of the truck. Here is a list of some of the best practices we teach:

Obey all company safety tiles and posted traffic signs, including speed limits.
Keep a clear view of your path of travel.
Stop, start and change directions smoothly.
When you approach intersections, slow down and sound the horn. This goes for blind corners, doors, ramp openings, around pedestrians and other vehicles, and when backing up.
When traveling, keep the forks in a low position that provides enough clearance over the surface you travel.
Keep a safe distance from the edge of any dock.
Do not jump on or off any lift truck.
Operators should always wear the required protective clothing and equipment such as steel-toed shoes and a safety vest.
It’s imperative to ensure all operators are properly trained and certified to operate a lift truck.
