Industrial truck operation

Safety regulations for truck operation
Travel routes and work areas:
Only use lanes and routes specifically designated for
truck traffic. Unauthorised persons must stay away from work areas. Loads must only
be stored in places specially designated for this purpose.
Driving conduct:
The driver must adapt the travel speed to local conditions. The
truck must be driven at slow speed when negotiating bends or narrow passageways,
when passing through swing doors and at blind spots. The driver must always
observe an adequate braking distance between the forklift truck and the vehicle in
front and must be in control of the truck at all times. Abrupt stopping (except in
emergencies), rapid U turns and overtaking at dangerous or blind spots are not
permitted. It is forbidden to lean out of or reach beyond the working and operating
area.
Travel visibility:
The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always have
a clear view of the route ahead. Loads which affect visibility must be stored at the rear
of the truck. If this is not possible, a second person must walk in front of the truck as
a lookout.
Negotiating slopes and inclines:
Negotiating slopes or inclines is only permitted if
such roads are clean and have a non-slip surface and providing such journeys are
safely undertaken in accordance with the technical specifications for the truck in
question. The truck must always be driven with the load unit facing uphill. The
industrial truck must not be turned, operated at an angle or parked on inclines or
slopes. Inclines must only be negotiated at slow speed, with the driver ready to brake
at any moment.
Negotiating lifts and docks:
Lifts and docks must only be used if they have sufficient
capacity, are suitable for driving on and authorised for truck traffic by the owner. The
driver must satisfy himself of the above before entering these areas. The truck must
enter lifts with the load in front and must take up a position which does not allow it to
come into contact with the walls of the lift shaft.
Persons riding in the lift with the forklift truck must only enter the lift after the truck has
come to a rest and must leave the lift before the truck.
Nature of loads to be carried:
The operator must make sure that the load is in a
satisfactory condition. Only carry loads that are positioned safely and carefully. Use
suitable precautions, e.g. a load guard, to prevent parts of the load from tipping or
falling down.
