Workplace accidents are preventable – and the forklift is one of the top sources of injury if misused. At Alteon Equipment, we believe safety should never be optional. Here’s how to keep your team and equipment protected.
1. Only Trained Operators Allowed
Never let untrained personnel operate forklifts. OSHA-certified training is a must. Alteon can connect you with trusted training providers.
2. Inspect Daily Before Use
Don’t skip pre-operation checks. A faulty brake or hydraulic leak could lead to disaster.
3. Drive Slow and Smart
Always keep forks low while driving. No sharp turns. No horseplay.
4. Use the Right Equipment
Trying to use a small lift for a heavy load is a recipe for tipping. Choose the correct model for the job – need help? We’re here to advise.
5. Communicate Clearly
Use horns in tight spaces and blind corners. Operators and pedestrians must be aware of each other at all times.
Alteon Equipment offers fleet inspections and safety support – because nothing matters more than going home safe.
