1 Forklifts of different sizes, shapes, and capacities may be used on the jobsite to move material, off-load delivery trucks, and pick up and raise loads to upper levels. Remember, it is a violation of OSHA regulations to operate a forklift if you are: 1) under 18 years of age, or 2) not properly trained and certified, even if you re over 18. Here are some recommended safety practices for forklift operators: Get a copy of the inspection checklist and conduct a full, pre-shift safety inspection before you start using the forklift. If you find problems, if the forklift is defective, needs repair, or is at all unsafe, do not operate it. Report any issues and remove the forklift from service immediately. Follow the manufacturer s maintenance schedule. Keep the forklift clean and free of dirt, grease, and oil. When you get onto or off of the lift, make sure your hands are clean and dry so they don t slip off the handhold or the grab bar. Wear non-slip footwear and make sure your shoes aren t covered in grease or mud. Watch your footing. If the lift is equipped with a seat belt, wear it. Don t overload the forklift. Make sure you understand the lift s rated capacity and that you know the weight of the load. Remember, if the load is not centered properly, the functional capacity of the lift may be reduced. Forklift Guidelines Be sure your path of travel is clear. Sound the horn to warn others that you will be moving. Use a spotter if your view is limited, especially when you re moving backwards. Drive slowly and cautiously. Always watch for pedestrians, blind spots, and your spotter. Be aware of your surroundings. Watch out for: other equipment operating in the area, bumps and holes, curbs and drop-offs, poles, bollards, and overhead power lines. Keep the forks as low as possible. Don t drive fast. Slow down when turning. Never turn with forks raised. Slow down in mud and on wet or slippery surfaces. If the forklift starts to tip, it s safer to hold on and stay with it. If you jump out, you could be crushed by the lift or the load. When you raise the forks up high, keep the load level and deploy the outriggers for some additional stability. Keep people away from the lift. Don t allow them to work under the load. Don t give anyone a ride on the forks. Don t use the forks as an elevated work platform. SAFETY REMINDER Be sure summer workers who are under 18 know that they can t operate a forklift on this jobsite.

4 Lineamientos para los montacargas (Forklift Guidelines) Los montacargas de diferentes tamaños, formas, y capacidades podrán ser usados en la obra para mover material, descargar los camiones de reparto, y recoger y levantar cargas a niveles superiores. Recuerde, es una violación de los reglamentos de OSHA operar un montacargas si usted: 1) tiene menos de 18 años de edad, o 2) no está debidamente entrenado y certificado, incluso si tiene más de 18 años. Aquí hay algunas prácticas de seguridad recomendadas para los operadores de montacargas: Obtengan una copia de la lista de verificaciones de las inspecciones y lleven a cabo la inspección de seguridad previa al turno de trabajo antes de comenzar a usar el montacargas. Si encuentran problemas, si el montacargas está defectuoso, necesita reparación, o si no es seguro, no lo operen. Reporten cualquier problema y saquen el montacargas de servicio inmediatamente. Sigan el programa de mantenimiento del fabricante. Mantengan limpio el montacargas y libre de tierra, grasa, y aceite. Al subir o bajar del montacargas, asegúrense que sus manos estén limpias y secas para que no se resbalen de la agarradera o de la barra de sujeción. Usen calzado antideslizante y asegúrense que sus zapatos no estén cubiertos de grasa o lodo. Tengan cuidado con su equilibrio. Si el montacargas está equipado con un cinturón de seguridad, úsenlo. No sobrecarguen el montacargas. Asegúrense de entender la capacidad nominal del montacargas y que sepan el peso de la carga. Recuerden, que si la carga no está debidamente centrada, la capacidad funcional del montacargas podrá ser reducida. NOTES: SPECIAL TOPICS /EMPLOYEE SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS/NOTES: Asegúrense que su camino esté libre. Hagan sonar el claxon para advertir a los demás que estarán moviendo el montacargas. Usen un avisador/vigilante si su vista está limitada o bloqueada, especialmente cuando están echándose en reversa. Manejen lentamente y con mucho cuidado. Siempre vigilen que no haya peatones, puntos ciegos, y su avisador/vigilante. Estén pendiente de sus alrededores. Tengan cuidado con: otro equipo operando en el área, topes y agujeros, banquetas y caídas de nivel, postes, postes de hierro, y cables aéreos de electricidad. Mantengan las horquillas tan bajas como sea posible. No manejen rápidamente. Reduzcan la velocidad al dar la vuelta. Nunca den la vuelta con las horquillas en alto. Reduzcan la velocidad en lodo y en superficies mojadas o resbalosas. Si el montacargas empieza a volcarse, es más seguro agarrarse y mantenerse en su lugar. Si tratan de salirse del montacargas, pueden ser aplastados por el montacargas o la carga. Al subir las horquillas en posición alta, mantengan la carga nivelada y utilicen los estabilizadores para dar más estabilidad. Mantengan a las personas lejos del montacargas. No dejen que trabajen debajo de la carga. Nunca dejen subir pasajeros en las horquillas. No usen las horquillas como una plataforma elevada de trabajo. SAFETY REMINDER Asegúrense que los trabajadores de verano menores de 18 años de edad sepan que no pueden operar un montacargas en la obra.
