The most stable position for a forklift is with the forks lowered to the ground, the mast tilted slightly back, and the forklift parked on a level surface. It is important to follow proper operating procedures and safety guidelines to ensure stability and prevent accidents.
In the UK, a forklift driver must have been on an official course, passed a test and obtained a licence. Only then, due to Health and Safety Regulations, can an employer legally let an employee drive a forklift.
To tow a forklift, first ensure that it is in neutral and the parking brake is released. Use a suitable towing vehicle with a proper towing hitch and attach the forklift using a tow strap or chain rated for the weight of the forklift. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for towing specifications and ensure that the area is clear of obstacles. Finally, drive slowly and carefully to avoid any sudden movements that could destabilize the forklift.
The usually term used in my area, the Northeastern US is FORKLIFT DRIVER. However, that may vary in other parts of the country depending on local common usage.
On constructions sites forklift safety posters need to be posted in common gathering areas such as break rooms or the construction office. Forklift safety posters are not necessarily required by state law, but should be provided to ensure proper compliance.
