| Forklift Safety – Ready For Winter Driving Conditions?
|
| With winter rapidly approaching it is time to think about how changes in weather, etc. can impact the safe operation of forklifts in three key areas.
Visibility
Along with winter comes a shorter amount of daylight, an increase in fog, rain, hail, snow, mud, and ice, which can impact visibility.
Recommendations:
- Inspect your facility for adequate lighting.
- Ensure forklift lights and wipers are fully functional. Remove ice and mud from windshield before operation.
- Wear appropriate clothing (rain gear, warm clothing, gloves, hats; no hoodies which can restrict visibility). When operators are cold they may be distracted from the safe operation of their forklift.
- Since visibility may be restricted encourage pedestrians working in forklift areas to wear high visibility clothing.
Maneuverability
Changes to the operating surface (caused by rain, snow, hail, ice) can reduce the maneuverability of forklifts.
