Forklifts are an integral part any facility that uses pallets, and it's critical for operators to follow the rules to ensure safety for all employees: -Always give pedestrians the right of way -Always go slow and honk the horn when approaching pedestrians. Be sure to make and maintain eye contact. -Always go slow and sound the horn at intersections -Always keep a 3-foot buffer around a forklift -Be aware of the rear swing and aisle obstruction -Always watch for side clearance. Be aware of the width of each load and allow enough distance to maneuver without incident. -Always be aware of low clearance, especially when traveling in and out of trailers. #safetytipoftheweek #worksafety #stayontopofitall #forkliftsafety #workplacesafety

Happy National Forklift Safety Day! Stay safe in your warehouse by following these steps to protect pedestrians and reduce forklift injuries at your worksite: — Remind all employees that they need to be aware of their surroundings at all times — Train forklift operators in the proper use of their vehicles and how to avoid striking pedestrians — Perform regular inspections of lift trucks to detect any defects in steering, brakes, horn or backup alarms — Whenever possible, separate pedestrians from lift trucks by providing separate pedestrian walkways with railings or other protective barriers — Install convex mirrors at blind aisle intersections — Keep aisles and passageways clear #ForkliftSafety #AlbanyInternational #WeavingOurDestiny

It’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work! Time to take a closer look at how pedestrians and forklifts can safely work together in the warehouse. Because no human can have their eyes everywhere at once. But technology can – like our Linde Safety Guard✔️ How does it work? Units (transmitter and receiver) are attached to the truck and work clothing and warn immediately if there is risk of collision. #safety #safetyguard #worldday #safetyandhealth
