    The document outlines the hazards associated with operating a forklift and measures to reduce risk, such as following proper procedures, taking care, and thinking about safety.

    The steps include operating only when trained, going at a safe speed, not overloading, following procedures, keeping a clear line of sight, not turning on inclines, no passengers, keeping loads stable and low, and not lifting loads near people.

    Pre-operation checks include inspecting the forklift and completing checklists. Post-operation checks include completing further checks and maintenance tasks if authorized.
