Call it the good book, the forklift operators manual should be found on any forklift in use in your facility. Make checking that point your first priority. Your second should be insuring that you and your operators have read the book. Short on pages, but deep on valuable information the book is certainly worth the small amount of time it would take you to internalize. When you think of the tens of thousands of dollars invested in the equipment it was written for, maybe you’ll see the justification easier. Towards investments, here is a quote found in a Toyota operators manual: The most expensive part of a material handling operation is not the equipment, but the people who operate it.
Toyota has designed this lift truck to work safely and efficiently with the operator, but you have the primary responsibility for the well being of your employees. How’s that for an “it’s up to you” statement? The operators manual goes further, in fact the first sixteen pages are full of points surrounding the truck and it’s attachments, lift truck operations, the workplace environment, and forklift. You would find eight pages that might be perfect for a brief tool box safety talk with your operators. Your Operators Manual Answer honestly, did you know these topics were covered in the first section of the operators manual?
