A Special Note to Forklift Owners -
There are a few things that every business owner and forklift operator should know, things to protect the health and safety of the worker and the business at the same time!
Daily Checks and PM's save money and lives.
OSHA requires daily checks, both visual and functional, before each shift. If problems are found, the truck must be tagged and the key removed. The truck must be fixed before being put back into service.
Powered industrial trucks may become hazardous if maintenance is neglected and repairs or adjustments are not performed. Pro Forklift strongly recommends that all powered industrial trucks have maintenance and inspections performed in conformance with a scheduled Planned Maintenance (PM) program.
Planned Forklift Maintenance is a program in which inspection; minor adjustments, lubrication, oil changes and replacement of filters are performed on a scheduled and systematic basis. A solid PM program should incorporate a method of record keeping which enables you to better determine PM schedules and enables you to track the maintenance costs per machine.
Planned Forklift Maintenance is a service designed to reduce expense, to insure your truck is in safe operating condition and to avoid unscheduled downtime.
To ensure that preventive maintenance is properly performed, Pro Forklift recommends the use of a pre-shift inspection checklist.
Forklift Operator's Daily Checklist
OSHA requires a pre-shift inspection of all lift trucks before they are placed into service. Employers must be certain that no condition exists that might adversely affect the safety of the truck. If problems are found, they must be reported and the truck should be taken out of service immediately for repair. A "Warning: Do NOT Operate" Tag should be affixed to the truck, and not removed until the necessary repairs have been made.
Since pre-shift inspection is an OSHA requirement, it is important for the employer to be prepared to document that these inspections have been made on a regular basis. The checklist on the following page can serve as proof of such inspection. |
