- - Forklift Safety Information:
About 100 workers are killed each year as a result of forklift accidents. About 1/4 of these fatalities are caused by overturning. Other common causes are workers being struck by materials, workers being struck by the forklift, and workers falling from the forklift.
Forklift operation is not as simple as it looks. But with a little experience, it's not an impossible skill to master. Unfortunately, those who operate forklifts day in and day out have a tendency to take short cuts and to ignore basic safety rules. They develop the old "It can't happen to me" attitude.
Forklift Safety Rules
1. Operate the forklift only if you've been trained
2. Maintain a safe following distance from other forklifts - about three vehicle lengths.
3. Follow our speed limit and other regulations
4. Drive with your load low - six or eight inches off the ground - and tilted slightly back
5. Exercise extra caution when driving over bridge plates and make sure your load is within their capacity
6. Raise and lower your load only when you are stopped
7. Stop and sound the horn at intersections
8. Avoid sharp turns.
9. Keep you arms and legs inside the vehicle
10. Be sure to wear a hard hat and other protective equipment when necessary
11. Be sure your load is stable and secure
12. When leaving the forklift, lower the forks, neutralize the controls, shut it off and set the brakes

Fire Safety can save lives. Over 150 major fires occur in workplaces on an annual basis. Fire is the third
leading cause of accidental deaths in the United States. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that most of these accidents can be prevented if proper safety
precautions at job sites are initiated. This poses a serious problem for exposed workers and their
employer. The OSHA Fire Prevention Standards establish uniform requirements to ensure that fire hazards in U.S. workplaces are evaluated, safety procedures implemented, and that the proper fire prevention information is transmitted to all affected workers.
Fire extinguishers are designed to put out or control small fires. A small fire, if not checked immediately, will soon spread out of control. In fact, most big fires start out as small ones. It is important, therefore, that you equip your workplace with the proper fire extinguishers as part of your fire protection plan. It’s also the law. For a fire extinguisher to be effective, the following conditions must be met:
A - The extinguisher must be right for the type of fire;
B - It must be located where it can be easily reached;
C - It must be in good working order;
D - The fire must be discovered while it is still small;
E - The person using the extinguisher must be trained to use it properly.
Fire Extinguishing Methods:
Fires can be extinguished in one or four ways:
1. By cooling: Water is used to cool the burning material below the temperature at which it starts to burn.
2. By smothering: Carbon dioxide (CO2) or foaming agents are used to smother the burning material so that air is excluded.
3. By removing the fuel: This is usually very difficult to do. An example is turning off a fuel line.
4. By disrupting the chemical chain reaction or interrupting the flame: Dry chemicals or halon are used to do this.
