Most forklift injuries happen to someone on foot.
Forklift operations training covers operating the truck safely around people, loads and site traffic, and the checks that keep it serviceable.
Overview
Forklifts usually work in the same space as people on foot, and close to them throughout the working day. That shared space, more than the truck itself, is where the risk sits.
Because the same movements repeat every shift, small lapses in technique accumulate. The programme covers operating the truck around people, loads and site traffic, keeping pedestrians and vehicles apart, and the pre-use checks that keep the truck serviceable.
