اسلاید 10: Typical Case Report: Overturn on TurningA man was backing a forklift down an incline. While on the incline, the employee turned his wheels, causing the forklift to become top-heavy and overturn.

اسلاید 21: Key Safety Procedures: When It’s Overturning!!!Do NOT jump from the forklift.Stay under the covered guard.Hold on firmly.Leaning in the opposite direction of the overturn.http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-109/default.html

اسلاید 22: Key Safety Procedures: When Loading and UnloadingNeutralize the controls and set the parking brake.Level the frame prior to lifting a load.Do NOT handle loads that are heavier than the weight capacity of the forklift.Never allow people appear under the load.Tilt forks forward to deposit load.Observe landing and load while lowering forks.http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-109/default.html

اسلاید 23: Key Safety Procedures: If People is ElevatedDo NOT allow workers standing on the forks, use specially designed platform.Place the vehicle directly below the work area.Secure the elevating platform to the lifting carriage or forks.Use a restraining means or deceleration device for the workers on the platform.Do NOT drive to another location with the work platform elevated. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-109/default.html

اسلاید 24: Key Safety Procedures: If People is Transported Do NOT allow passengers to ride on the vehicle unless a seat is provided.http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-109/default.html

اسلاید 25: Key Safety Procedures: After It StopsLower forks to the ground when parking.Exit from a stand-up forklift with rear-entry access by stepping backward if a lateral tipover occurs.Report any damage or problems occurred.NO smoking in refueling or charging areas. Chock wheels in maintenance, especially when operating under the vehicle. http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2001-109/default.html http://forkliftsafety.com
