Introduction

Utilization of lift trucks is common in many industries, and it involves the risk of injury to the operator and to other workers on site. When used improperly, lift trucks can overturn or drop materials, or otherwise cause dangerous conditions.

Fatalities and injuries resulting from improper use of lift trucks are often preventable, and they usually result from issues such as a lack of identification of hazards, inadequate training, and insufficient application of proper risk control measures.
