  1. FORKLIFT SAFETY OSHA TRAINING OSHA 29CFR 1910.178

  2. REGULATORY STANDARD POWERED INDUSTRIAL TRUCKS 29CFR - 1910 - 178 29CFR - SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARDS 1910 - GENERAL INDUSTRY 178 - POWERED INDUSTRIAL TRUCKS

  3. REAL HEAVY PARTS 6500lbs LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS FORKLIFT INJURY STATISTICS APPROXIMATELY 34,000 RELATED INJURIES A YEAR: • INATTENTION • DISTRACTION • EXCESSIVE SPEED • POOR DRIVING HABITS • LACK OF TRAINING

  4. CIRCUMSTANCES OF INJURY HOW MOST INJURIES OCCUR • OVERLOADING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TURNOVER • LOAD INSTABILITY CAUSING TURNOVER • OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE PATH OF TRAVEL OR LIFT • USING FORKLIFT OUTSIDE OF DESIGN LIMITATIONS • STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN

  5. CASE STUDY #1 CRUSHED AGAINST A STEEL POLE NARRATIVE: AN EMPLOYEE WAS SPOTTING A FORKLIFT BACKING UP IN A CONGESTED FLOOR AREA. THE OPERATOR ATTEMPTED TO EASE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY BACK TO GAIN CLEARANCE TO TURN. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK SLIGHTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH, PINNING AND CRUSHING THE SPOTTER BETWEEN THE FORKLIFT AND A POLE RESULTING IN FATAL INJURIES. CITATION: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN A FIXED OBJECT AND THE VEHICLE.

  6. CASE STUDY #2 KILLED BY TOPPLED FORKLIFT NARRATIVE: AN EMPLOYEE WAS TRANSFERRING MATERIAL FROM A LOADING DOCK TRAILER TO A WAREHOUSE LOCATION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE DOCK RESULTING IN A LATERAL TIPOVER OF THE VEHICLE AND FATAL OPERATOR INJURIES. CITATION: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE DOCK AND THE VEHICLE.

  7. CASE STUDY #3 KILLED BY TOPPLED FORKLIFT NARRATIVE: AN EMPLOYEE WAS TRANSFERRING MATERIAL FROM A STACKED PALLET STORAGE LOCATION TO THE WAREHOUSE FLOOR. THE OPERATOR BEGAN MOVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE LOAD EXTENDED BEFORE LOWERING THE LOAD, RESULTING IN A CENTRIFUGAL OVERLOAD AND TOPPLING. THE OPERATOR WAS CRUSHED BY THE VEHICLE. CITATION: FAILURE TO MAINTAIN VEHICULAR CONTROL

  8. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS TRAINING REQUIREMENTS OPERATORS MUST RECEIVE: • CLASSROOM TRAINING COVERING SAFETY RULES • BASIC MATERIAL-HANDLING TECHNIQUES • BASIC OPERATING TECHNIQUES • DRIVER’S PERFORMANCE TEST

  9. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS RETRAINING REQUIREMENTS • REQUIRED WHEN THERE IS A: • CHANGE IN VEHICLES AND HANDLING EQUIPMENT • CLOSE-CALL EVENT • FAILURE IN THE SAFETY PROCEDURES • REASON TO DOUBT EMPLOYEE PROFICIENCY

  10. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS FORKLIFT SAFETY PROGRAM THREE ELEMENTS TO THE PROGRAM: 1. WRITTEN COMPANY SAFETY PROCEDURES 2. EMPLOYEE TRAINING 3. DRIVING PROFICIENCY

  11. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS FORKLIFT SAFETY PROGRAM WRITTEN COMPANY SAFETY PROCEDURES 1. COMPANY FORKLIFT POLICY REVIEWED ANNUALLY 2. DAILY OPERATOR INSPECTIONS DOCUMENTED 3. DRIVING TRAINING AND PROFICIENCY DOCUMENTED

  12. BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES FORKLIFT MANUFACTURER: • DICTATES SPECIFIC OPERATION OF VEHICLE • SPECIFIES MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS • CONSULTED CONCERNING “ADD-ON’s” • FIRST CHOICE FOR SAFETY QUESTIONS

  13. OVERHEAD GUARD • MAST • CARRIAGE • BACKREST • LIFT CYLINDER • TILT CYLINDERS • FORKS LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES

  14. BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES THE RATED CAPACITY • THE RATED CAPACITY: • THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF WEIGHT THAT CAN BE SAFELY LIFTED • HOW THE LOAD RESTS ON THE FORKS IS CRITICAL • THE CLOSER THE LOAD IS TO THE BACKREST THE BETTER • CAN BE FOUND ON THE NOMENCLATURE PLATE OF THE VEHICLE

  15. COUNTER WEIGHT PIVOT POINT PIVOT POINT COUNTER WEIGHT CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES LIFTING PRINCIPLE

  16. LIFTING PRINCIPLE MOVING THE LOAD AWAY FROM THE BACKREST CAN LOWER THE RATED CAPACITY OF THE FORKLIFT BY HUNDREDS OF POUNDS! REAL HEAVY PARTS LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs 6500lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS INCORRECT CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES

  17. REAL HEAVY PARTS REAL HEAVY PARTS LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs 6500lbs 6500lbs PROPANE ONLY PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS ACME FORKLIFTS INCORRECT CORRECT CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES LIFTING PRINCIPLE

  18. REAL HEAVY PARTS MOVING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE LOAD IS EXTENDED CAN RESULT IN TURNOVER BECAUSE OF CENTRIFUGAL FORCES APPLIED AT THE TOP OF THE LOAD! 6500lbs LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS BASIC FORKLIFT PRINCIPLES CENTRIFUGAL FORCES

  19. PRE-USE INSPECTION • MAST • ROLLER TRACKS AND CHAINS • FORKS AND ADJUSTMENT • FLUID LEVELS • HYDRAULIC LINES • LIFT AND TILT CYLINDERS • OVERHEAD GUARD MOUNTING • FIRE EXTINGUISHER • CYLINDER MOUNTING HARDWARE • TIRES • LIGHTS AND WARNING DEVICES • HANDBRAKE • STEERING AND BRAKES • DRIVING CONTROLS • LIFT CONTROLS • SEAT ADJUSTMENT AND BELTS FORKLIFT OPERATING PRINCIPLES

  20. CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL FORKLIFT OPERATING PRINCIPLES TYPES OF POWER SOURCES • BATTERY POWERED • PROPANE POWERED • DIESEL POWERED • GASOLINE POWERED

  21. CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL FORKLIFT OPERATING PRINCIPLES INSPECTION OF POWER SOURCES • BATTERY POWERED • - REQUIRES CONSTANT CHARGING • - NO IGNITION SOURCES IN CHARGING AREA • - FOLLOW LOCAL CHARGING PROCEDURES

  22. CONSULT YOUR VEHICLE OWNERS MANUAL FORKLIFT OPERATING PRINCIPLES INSPECTION OF POWER SOURCES • PROPANE POWER • - INSPECT TANK FOR SERVICEABILITY • - INSPECT PROPANE TRANSFER SYSTEM • - INSPECT TANK RESTRAINT SYSTEM • - FOLLOW LOCAL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES

  23. REAL HEAVY PARTS LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs 6500lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS LOADED FORKLIFT RAMP OPERATIONS ALWAYS APPROACH RAMP LOAD FIRST!

  24. REAL HEAVY PARTS LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs 6500lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS LOADED FORKLIFT RAMP OPERATIONS ALWAYS LEAVE RAMP LOAD LAST!

  25. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS UNLOADED FORKLIFT RAMP OPERATIONS ALWAYS APPROACH A RAMP FORKS LAST!

  26. LOAD CAPACITY 6000 lbs PROPANE ONLY ACME FORKLIFTS DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS UNLOADED FORKLIFT RAMP OPERATIONS ALWAYS LEAVE A RAMP FORKS FIRST!

  27. KEY ELEMENTS TO AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM 1. DEVELOP AND STRICTLY ADHERE TO SAFETY PROCEDURES. 2. ESTABLISH AND ENFORCE SAFE WORK PRACTICES. 3. ENSURE PROPER TRAINING AND SUPERVISION. 4. STRENGTHEN AND MODIFY PRESENT POLICIES. 5. UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 29 CFR 1910.178 AND THE BUSINESS OR INDUSTRY INVOLVED.

  28. OSHA'S PERCEPTION OF A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM 1. DETAILED FORKLIFT SAFETY PROCEDURES 2. EXTENSIVE EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAMS 3. PERIODIC REINFORCEMENT OF TRAINING 4. SUFFICIENT DISCIPLINE REGARDING IMPLEMENTATION
