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.
Hyster® fork lift trucks are designed and
built for optimal operator and pedestrian safety in numerous types of materials
handling applications. For unique
applications, special options such as the paper industry package or the
environment package are also offered by Hyster Company. These and numerous other special options can
be installed on Hyster® fork lift trucks to meet the needs of customers.
