    1. The document identifies hazards associated with operating forklifts at a warehouse including collision with workers, overloading, and inadequately trained operators. 2. Controls to reduce the risks include designing permitted routes to separate forklifts and pedestrians, ensuring only authorized and trained operators use forklifts, and performing preventative maintenance checks. 3. Additional actions recommended are developing and implementing safe work procedures, limiting forklift speeds, instructing all workers on traffic plans, and inspecting forklifts daily.

    Some of the major hazards identified in the risk assessment include collision with pedestrians or structures, overloading, lack of traffic management, and unsafe forklift operation. Controls like segregating pedestrian and vehicle areas, training operators, and implementing safety procedures aim to reduce these risks.

    Hazards identified include collision with pedestrians or structures, overloading, lack of traffic management, and unsafe operation by untrained operators.

    Controls suggested include segregating pedestrian and vehicle areas, training operators, implementing safety procedures, inspecting forklifts, and controlling unauthorized use through systems like swipe cards.

    Warehouse materials and operational control out -designing the permitted routes
    stacking procedures and operating zones for forklift
    operations such that they will never
    come in contact with any pedestrian
    or worker. 2. Guard the
    remaining hazards to prevent the
    accident from occurring This can
    be carried out by erecting physical
    barriers next to a walkway to
    prevent the forklift from coming into
    contact with pedestrians.
    3. Mitigate the impact
    of the hazards -wearing an
    appropriate seat belt can save the
    life of an operator when the forklift
    overturns. a forklift fitted with a
    seat belt must be provided and the
    operator instructed to use the belt.

    • Inadequately Before an operator is authorised to

    authorised undergo and pass an appropriate
    operators forklift driving course.

    Only trained and authorised operators


    are permitted to operate a forklift.
    Employers should implement a control
    system to prohibit unauthorised use of
    Ineffective forklifts. Workers should be briefed on
    system to control the control system and only authorised
    the use of forklift operators should be permitted to
    forklifts operate a forklift
    Operators should check any load for its
    weight, shape and size so that
    precautions for lifting the load can be
    taken. Do not exceed the rated load
    capacity. Always travel with the load
    and forks low to the ground.Always
    sound the horn and slow down when
    approaching corners, intersections and
    over loading doorways.

    REMEDIAL ACTION REQUIRED /
    REMARKS
    safe work procedures (SWP)
    must be developed and
    implemented to control
    the risks
    *Another way to mitigate the
    impact of an accident would be
    to limit the speed of the forklift.
    With lower speed, the operator
    is better able to react to avoid
    an accident

    • Adequately instruct visitors


    and all employers at the
    workplace of the site’s traffic
    management plan,
    • Review the plan when
    work processes or site plans
    change.

    Ensure that the forklifts are


    inspected daily
    . Electronic systems such as
    swipe cards and pin code can
    help to control the use of
    forklifts.

    . If the operator’s view from the


    forklift front is blocked, he
    should always travel in the
    reverse direction or have
    another worker to keep a look
    out for him.

    Display sufficient signs and


    warnings in the workplace

    Ensure that the workplace is


    adequately lit
    forklift operating areas are either eliminated or minimised
