Aerial Lifts/Fork Lifts
You must be specially trained to use forklifts, aerial lifts, and aerial work platforms. Safe operation requires inspections, preparation, anticipation, and careful attention to maintain control of the vehicles at all times. Potential hazards include tip overs, falls, collisions, and electrocution.
EH&S identifies and establishes core principles for safe machine operation.

Did You Know?
Make sure all machine safe guards are in place at all times so that moving parts are not a danger to you and other workers nearby. If machine safety guards are removed due to maintenance ensure that Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocols are closely followed.
