Forklift Safety Regulations

Forklift safety regulations are rules designed to prevent accidents and injuries when operating forklifts. They require trained and certified operators to handle the machinery properly, conduct routine inspections before use, and follow specific guidelines for safe driving, load handling, and parking. Regulations also emphasize maintaining clear visibility, using seat belts, and avoiding unsafe loads or speeds. Employers must provide safety training, enforce compliance, and ensure that safety features like alarms and warning lights are functional. Adhering to these rules helps create a safer workplace by reducing the risk of collisions, tip-overs, and other forklift-related hazards.
