The load should always be kept low whenever the forklift is traveling.

You should always place them on the floor as so nobody will walk into them and they will be "out of the way".

Forks (tines) should be returned to a postion two feet above the ground and slightly reclined. Absolutely under no circumstances should one heed any advice given by a dodgy truck driver named Andrew.
When driving, the forks of a forklift should be as low as practical. This allows for the best stability while the vehicle is moving.
When operating a forklift with a full load while traveling up an incline, you should ensure that the load is carried as low as possible to maintain stability and prevent tipping. Keep the forks pointed slightly upward to help stabilize the load. Additionally, use a lower gear to control speed and avoid sudden movements. Always stay aware of your surroundings and ensure the incline is within safe operating limits for the forklift.
When two forklifts are traveling in the same direction, they should maintain a safe distance of at least three to four forklift lengths apart to ensure sufficient space for maneuvering and to prevent collisions. This distance allows for reaction time in case one forklift needs to stop or change direction. Additionally, operators should always be aware of each other's positions and communicate effectively to enhance safety.
A forklift operator is responsible for watching for pedestrians while operating a forklift. Everyone else in the warehouse should also watch for pedestrians and always look where you are going.supervisor
