What can you do to avoid an incident?
- Do not enter the forklift's working area if the space is not safe. Make sure you have eye contact with the operator and that they can see you before entering the driving path. Maintain a principle of limited trust—because the forklift may change its path or stop with a delay.
- Do not share your license with another person and do not operate a forklift truck for which you do not have a license.
- In conditions of poor visibility, use the horn and slow down.
