Protect Yourself

3   Protect Yourself

USE YOUR TRUCK CAREFULLY

• Watch your hands and your feet.  A foot or hand caught

between the truck and a fixed object will be crushed or
even cut off.

• Keep to the side of the truck while traveling power unit

first.  Make certain the truck won't hit the back of your
leg or foot.  Don't let the truck run over your foot.

• If traveling forks first, keep both hands on the control

handle and be careful when changing direction of travel.
Keep your feet clear of the truck.

• Keep your truck under control at all times.  Operate at 

a speed that allows you to stop safely.  Be even more 
careful on slippery or uneven surfaces.  Do not run 
over objects on the floor.

•  Perform all truck movements smoothly and at a speed 

that will give you time to react in an emergency.

LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING

Always be alert to the area around you and watch where
you are driving.  Be careful that you don't get pinned or 
crushed between the truck and a fixed object such as a 
wall or post.
