SAFETY & TRAINING OVERVIEW 

BE CAREFUL. 

Tough trucks require careful operation 

Safety is freedom from physical injury and property damage.  Creating a safe materials handling environment requires a team effort. Team members include the owner/manager of the materials handling operation, employees at the facility regardless of their assigned duties, fork lift operators, fork lift manufacturers such as Hyster Company and maintenance personnel to insure recommended fork lift maintenance guidelines are followed.

The physical layout of materials handling operation must accommodate the production goals of facility and allow for the safety of employees and equipment that operate within the facility.  Facility layout, work rules, employee training and the use and proper maintenance of Hyster® fork lift trucks that have been designed to be used safely by trained operators all contribute to freedom from physical injury and property damage.
