Safety of Site personnel

On sites operating fork lifts, all personnel must be fully instructed in the safe systems of work laid down for their protection, and must observe them at all times. Some of the points which should be covered by safe systems of work are:

Everyone not directly involved in fork lift operations should keep well clear of the machine. The carrying of passengers on fork lifts should be forbidden.


Persons acting as banksmen, or guiding the driver in removing his forks from the pallet, should:
  • keep a safe distance from the machine and its load
  • Never stand under the elevated load of a fork lift
  • Never stand between the load and any exposed floor edge, or between the load and a fixed object
  • Wear conspicuous clothing, reflective jackets should be worn during poor visibility
