Important forklift driving suggestions
Workplace accidents are all too common. Nonetheless, numerous mishaps are preventable by minimalizing the chances while working with machinery that are both heavy and dangerous.

Uneven surfaces and drops are usually encountered while operating a lift truck because the majority of operating surfaces are quite rough and uneven. The biggest hazards are dock platforms, dock bridges, pot holes, bumps, inclines and ramps. Forklifts are engineered to handle surfaces which are uneven, but it is the operators responsibility to keep control of the truck and to be on the lookout for these dangers.

Visibility is one of the important factors in forklift accidents. The operator is responsible for ensuring clear visibility when using a lift truck by checking that mirrors are positioned correctly and that all windows are unobstructed and clean. If a load is placed in such a way that it obstructs visibility for the forklift operator, then the operator has to put the forklift in reverse and back down the ramp with care.

The tires, forks, brakes, engine and the rest must always be tested to guarantee that they are properly working. Correct testing could help to avoid injury and accidents.
