Video: Warning! 17 Scenarios That Could Cause Death or Injury

Your lift truck may be your biggest resource to avoiding and anticipating accidents if your labels are legible and you can read your overhead warnings. On the overhead warning above you on your lift truck, you’ll notice the 17 scenarios that we cover in our online forklift operator training course. Each scenario covers a situation in which an operator could be seriously injured or killed while operating the machine. It’s a good idea to take a moment to review these scenarios in depth before operating your forklift.

Staying safe while operating your machine should be your number one priority and continuously reviewing your safety labels is a great way to ensure that you’re staying aware by anticipating any potential safety hazard you may encounter along the way. Having legible safety labels, such as the overhead label, provides you with a daily reminder of how to stay safe and avoid accidents.
