FOR SUPERVISORS
Lift truck accidents cause dozens or hundreds of deaths every
year, and even greater numbers of personal injuries.
UniCarriers has steadily improved the design and fabrication of
our lift trucks so they may be used more safely and efficiently,
but many accidents still occur due to improper use. Accidents
are often the result of more than just “bad driving”. The use of
inappropriate types of equipment, the selection of inappropriate
attachments or accessories, inappropriate operating environments,
careless designation of operators, and failure to properly train the
operator are other common causes of accidents.
It is not possible to describe all potentially hazardous situations
which may occur while operating, inspecting or servicing a
forklift truck. The warnings and cautions in this manual, including
the decals attached to the forklift, are not intended to cover all
possible working hazards.
If you operate, inspect or service the forklift in a manner not
described in this manual, please be careful because you do so at
your own risk.
This chapter covers the methods of accident prevention which are
primarily the responsibility of supervisory personnel.
•Pages 1-2 through 1-13 contain instructions which should be
enforced by the personnel supervising the operation of the lift
truck. Please make sure the operators also read these pages.
•Page 1-14 and the following pages contain specic precautions
directly related to the operation of the lift truck.
The following symbols, found throughout this manual, alert you to
potentially dangerous conditions to the owner and the operator.
Become completely familiar with the truck before proceeding with
operating, checking and servicing the truck.
This manual and the decals afxed to the truck use the following
safety alert indications.

Gloves Safety
Shoes
Work
Clothes
Goggles
Hard Hat
•Always wear proper work clothes for driving. Work clothes
should be designed to prevent any part from accidentally
catching on knobs or other parts of the truck or equipment. For
example, shirts and trousers should have tight cuffs.
•Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes.
•Wear other protective gear as appropriate to the conditions of
the work site, i.e., goggles or gloves.
■PROVIDE AND MAINTAIN EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT
Fire extinguishers and first aid kits should be provided and
maintained for use in case of a fire or accident. All personnel
should understand the location and use of emergency equipment.
■TRAIN OPERATOR TO STACK SAFELY
Stacking
Unstacking
“Stacking” means piling up a palleted load or material directly on
top of each other, without using racks or shelves to separate them.
If stacking work is not done properly, the loads may slip or fall,
endangering the operator as well as fellow workers in the area.
Safety classes should be held to train all operators in the proper
method of stacking and unstacking loads.
(Your UniCarriers dealer can provide information about safety stacking
training.)
■TIRED OR UNWELL? SEND THEM HOME!
Do not let people take chances. An operator who is overworked or
fatigued, an operator who is feeling unwell, or an operator who is
intoxicated must not be allowed in the driver’s seat.

Where other people must be present, post a guide whose job is to
make sure people stay clear of moving vehicles.
■KEEP UNAUTHORIZED VEHICLES OUT
No entry of
unauthorized
vehicles
Unauthorized vehicles must be kept out of the load handling
areas. Post signs or give signals as required.
■ASSIGN TRAFFIC GUIDES TO CONGESTED AREAS
Post a traffic guide in confined or congested areas where other
people or vehicles may pass. All personnel must obey the guide’s
signals.
■PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING
Safe operation requires well-lit traveling routes, so pedestrians
and obstacles can be easily seen. Use headlights, taillights,
helmet lamps or other lights as appropriate.

■INSTALL CURBS OR RAILINGS
If the truck is to be used on a loading dock, shore wall or other
raised surface, install curbs or railings.
■DO NOT RELY ON THE OVERHEAD GUARD
The overhead guard is a protective device that will moderate the
impact of an object falling from overhead, but it cannot withstand
every impact. If a heavy object seems likely to fall on the truck,
make every effort to prevent it from doing so.
■KEEP THE GROUND LEVEL AND DRY
Be sure that all areas where the lift truck travels are level and
regular. Clear away pools of oil or water.
■SAFETY MEASURES FOR DANGER SPOTS
Post warning signs or take other appropriate measures to ensure
that lift truck operators keep away from danger spots as they
travel.
