🚧 Avoid Forklift Accidents — Stay Safe at Work!

Forklift safety is essential in every warehouse, factory, and logistics environment. A single unsafe action can lead to costly damage, injuries, or operational downtime. Whether you're an operator or a facility manager, following the right safety practices ensures smoother workflows and a safer workplace for everyone.

Stay Safe with These Key Forklift Tips 👇

• Keep your load low & steady-Maintaining a low center of gravity improves stability and reduces the risk of tipping.
• Inspect your forklift before every shift-Check brakes, tires, warning lights, forks, and hydraulics to prevent unexpected failures.
• Follow the rated capacity-Overloading compromises balance and increases the chance of accidents.
• Drive carefully in busy areas-Slow down, use your horn, and stay alert to pedestrians, blind corners, and uneven ground.

• Don’t turn fast with the mast raised-Sudden movements with elevated loads are one of the most common causes of forklift rollovers.
• Don’t overload your forklift-Even slight overloads can destabilize the vehicle.
• Don’t speed or drive carelessly-A forklift is not a car — controlled, steady driving is key.
• Don’t use your phone while operating-Distractions drastically reduce reaction time and awareness.
