In common industry practices, one positive action observed was the operator not jumping out of the forklift, demonstrating a crucial safety behavior. Operational safety can be rooted in the basics of the 3M principles: Man, Machine, and Method. There are more but let us be brilliant in the basics of 3M. MAN: Safety relies on the operator's attitude and skill to identify risks and act accordingly, but this video shows a focus on task completion rather than expert safety judgment. MACHINE: Business investments in safety tools, like forklift shutdown devices for overloads, etc. are essential for preventing costly failures and ensuring safe operations. METHOD: Operational excellence shouldn't depend solely on the operator’s training but on a robust system that ensures safe actions through OSH-SOPs, safe work instructions, and a safety-first culture, led by area supervisors or managers. Either individual nor team actions, input-process-output (IPO) can be used to structure the OSH approach blend in the process to ensure full proof mitigation of risk.

However, they can become significant safety hazards if not operated correctly or used for tasks they were never intended to perform. 1. Forklift Operator Training: A Lifesaver Proper training for forklift operators is more than just a regulatory requirement—it's a lifesaver. Comprehensive training programs ensure that operators understand not only the mechanics of operating a forklift but also the critical safety procedures necessary to prevent accidents. Operators trained to recognize potential hazards are better equipped to avoid them, reducing the risk of injury to themselves and others. 2. Use Equipment Only as Intended Forklifts are designed for specific purposes, and when used outside of these parameters, the risk of accidents skyrockets. Improper use, such as overloading or using the forklift to lift or move items in ways it was not designed for, can lead to catastrophic failures. It's essential to use each piece of equipment for its intended purpose and follow all manufacturer guidelines to maintain a safe working environment. 📢 Let’s Commit to Safety!

Sometimes we underestimate the risk... Be proactive and stop the work, evaluate, mitigate risk, obtain the right tool or equipment for the job and continue execution. Simple steps that can save lives.
