Top 5 Forklift Safety Tips Every Operator Should Know

### 1. Inspect Before Use
Before each shift, check tires, brakes, steering, lights, and hydraulics to prevent mechanical failures.

### 2. Do Not Overload
Never exceed the rated load limit — unbalanced or heavy loads increase the risk of tipping.

### 3. Maintain Visibility
Always ensure clear sight. When loads block the front view, drive in reverse carefully.

### 4. Drive Safely
Avoid sharp turns, sudden stops, or speeding — especially when carrying high loads.

### 5. Provide Regular Training
Trained and certified operators are less likely to make costly or dangerous mistakes.
