  9. Fork Lift Truck Accidents • Overturning • Falling from loading bays etc • Loads falling • Vehicles striking people • Vehicles striking building / plant / equipment • Use by unauthorised persons • Changing batteries or fuel • Refuelling

  10. LIFT TRUCK SAFETY • What Hazards are associated with lift trucks ? • Weight (truck, load & combined) • Pedestrians & other vehicles • Traffic routes (doors, ramps & corners) • Speed • Exhaust gasses in confined spaces • Space availability for trucks / load requirements • Load stability • Truck fuel types • Fire & explosion • Lack of competence / misuse • Lack of competent supervision

  11. LIFT TRUCK SAFETY • Legal Requirements • HSW Act 1974 • Management of health and safety at work regulations • Provision and use of work equipment regs • Lifting operations and lifting equipment regs • Guidance • ACOP (COP 26) rider operated lift truck - operator training • Guidance HS(G)6 safe working with lift trucks • Guidance PM28 working platform

  12. FLT, A.C.O.P. Requires • Health requirements • Trainability assessment • Training programme • Regular re-training

  13. FLT, A.C.O.P. Three stages 1) Basic training • Skills / knowledge needed for safe operation 2) Specific job training • Knowledge of the work place and special techniques 3) Familiarisation training • On-the-job under close supervision • Managers require training & information as a minimum :- • Basic training and knowledge • Risk assessments, and • Any written systems of work

  14. Operator Health Requirements. • Full movement of the trunk • Normal agility • Normal hearing • 12/6 vision • If spectacles should be worn they must be worn at all times • Epileptic seizure, heart problem, stroke • Doctor should certify a return to work • Stable mentality

  15. Lift Truck Instability • Lift trucks become unstable both longitudinally and laterally due to a number of factors • Longitudinal instability could be • Overloading • Moving with load at height • Harsh braking • Harsh use of controls • Incorrect use of mast tilt • Incorrect travel on ramps • Uneven ground • Undercutting

  16. Lift Truck Instability • Lateral instability could be • Turning at speed • Turning with load raised • Load’s shift in centre of gravity • Uneven ground • Travelling across inclines • Drain gully’s etc • Lifting with one fork • Damaged tyres • Pot holes and obstructions etc

  17. Rated Capacity Plate • All lift trucks must display a rated capacity plate, which will show the actual weight at a certain distance from fork face that the truck can lift. e.g Weight Load centre Mast height 2500 kgs 600 mm 4.5 metres

  18. Rated Capacity Plate • The operator must never exceed the rated capacity • Operators must be given information about the rated capacity • The capacity will change if • Change Forks • Attachments are used

  19. Lift Truck Attachments • When purchasing or fitting attachments you must check • The correct rated capacity plate is fitted • It was designed for the particular truck • Safe working loads are displayed • The operator is aware of the new capacity

  20. Battery Charging • The charging process causes hydrogen gas, a procedure must be developed to prevent explosion and include • Select a well ventilated area • Prohibit smoking and naked flames • The charging procedure should be • Isolate the mains • Connect the charger to the battery • Uncoil cable and switch on • Check charge level, if fully charged switch off • Disconnect charger from the truck, coil up the leads to store • Use protective clothing whilst topping up

  21. Hazards Associated with Electric Fork Lift Trucks Battery charging • Hydrogen gas • Ventilation, fire equipment, no smoking & signage • Sulphuric acid • Protective clothing, spillage procedure, clean water, first - aid & topping up procedure • Electricity • Insulated tools, safe charging procedures & isolation

  22. Fork Lift Truck-Pre Shift Check List( to be completed by the operator ) Truck Number________________ Week Commencing_______________________ Mon Tues Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun Fuel / Oil / Water Battery Mast Forks Load Chain Guards cover Wheels/Tyres Seat Hydraulics Light/dials/horn Gears Brakes Steering Controls Visual Check Signature Supervisors sig’ Faults must be reported to the supervisor Mon Tues Wed Thur Frid Sat Sun

  23. Purchasing or Hiring a Lift Truck. • Managers must have checked • Type of truck is suitable • Unladen weight • The rated capacity • Load centre distance • Maximum height • Changes when using attachments • Should also have a pre-operational check carried out which should cover • Tyres and batteries, brakes, horn, overhead guard, hydraulic system, lights if fitted, capacity plate, leaks, lock or switch and key, all moving parts

  24. General Controls Methods:- • Correct type of FLT for environment / load • Fuel type, racking / storage type, load capacity & ground conditions, used indoor / outdoor • Training of operators / managers :- • Both are competent in all types and systems used • Maintenance • Service & breakdown as required • Maintain environment and traffic routes • Daily pre-operational checks by operators

  25. Typical FLT Questions • List EIGHT rules to be followed to minimise the risk of Fork Lift Trucks overturning (8) • List the ways in which a fork lift truck may become unstable whilst in operation (8) • Outline the hazards and the corresponding precautions to be taken when charging batteries for fork lift trucks (8)

  26. Slinging

  27. SLINGING SAFETY • Legal requirements • Health & safety at work act • Management of health and safety at work regulations • Provision and use of work equipment regs • Lifting operations and lifting equipment regs • Guidance • GS 39 guidance training of crane drivers and slingers

  28. Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulation 1998 LOLER

  29. LOLER • Strength and stability • Adequate strength • Suitable for the task • Lifting equipment for lifting persons • Prevent crushing, trapped, struck or people falling etc • Has devices to restrict / prevent carrier falling

  30. LOLER • Positioning and installation • Prevent load striking a person, drifting, falling freely, being released unintentionally, and it is otherwise safe • Prevent from falling down a shaft or hoist way, gates or other effective means to prevent access or egress • Marking of lifting equipment • Marked to indicate their SWL, for each configuration • Lifting people is clearly marked, or marked ‘not designed for lifting persons’

  31. LOLER • Organisation of lifting operations • Ensure operations are properly planned, supervised, conducted in safe manner • Planning lifting operations • Plans carried out by • Slinger / FLT operator / crane operators etc

  32. LOLER • Thorough examination and inspection • After installation / before being put into service for the first time • Before being put into service at a new site or location to ensure it has been installed correctly / safe to operate • Equipment exposed to deteriorating conditions examined • Equipment for persons, 6 months, other at least every 12 months • Every time the exceptional circumstances occur

  33. Planning Lifting Operations • A simple plan for overhead travelling crane • Assess the weight of the load • Choose the right accessory for the lift • Check the route for travel • Prepare suitable place to set the load down • Fit the sling to the load • Make the lift (trial lift first) • Release slings, prevent trapping, • Inspect return to stores • Clear up

  34. Main Controls For Safe Slinging • Risk assessments / method statements • Trained operators / competent managers • Information known of the • Site conditions, loads • Awareness and control of • Overhead, ground and boundary conditions / hazards • Barriers and any segregated areas • Suitable equipment with correct SWL • Maintained and inspected equipment

  35. LOLER Reports and defects • Person making examination shall • Notify employer defects, make written report, to employer, leased or hired • Where the defect presents an imminent risk of serious personal injury, send a copy to the relevant authority

  36. LOLER Keeping of records • Employer keep EC declaration • Every thorough examination report made is kept available • Until he ceases to use the equipment • Accessories (incl; cranes & mobile elevated work platforms)1-2 yrs • After installation / reconfiguration until he ceases to use the equipment at the place it was installed or assembled • In the case of regular in-service thorough examinations until the next report is made or 2 yrs • Every record must be kept until the next record is made

  37. Register of Equipment • Needed to ensure • Implementation of current legislation • Inspected, tested and maintained as required • Helps to keep records • Where slings are within the organisation • Enables monitoring • Use and maintenance of lifting equipment • Provides information • To slinger about slings • Age / defects for maintaining test • Inspection and use requirements

  38. Types of Slings 3 Main types of sling materials • Chain slings • Used for harsh conditions • Can become brittle…….anneal • Steel wire rope • Flexible used in most industries • Man-made fibres • 4 types nylon, terylene, polyester and polypropylene • Easy to use but have limitations depending on material type • Slings can be damaged easily by • Chemicals, harsh environments, sharp edges, hot or cold conditions, sunlight and poor storage

  39. Seven Basic Slinging Rules 1. Know weight of load, where it has to go 2. Select the correct sling • adequate strength • suitable for the load and • inspect before use 3. Fit the sling over the centre of gravity 4. Make a trial lift to check the set 5. Lower in clear area, keeping feet clear 6. Remove the slings carefully 7. Clear area, inspect sling and return to store ( report any damage )

  40. Managers Responsibilities • Ensure all slings and lifting equipment have • Individual markings and are entered in the register • The SWL clearly marked • Charts posted where required • Periodic examinations • Annealed as necessary • Repaired slings are re-proof tested and certificated • Competent people using correct techniques • Competent supervision

  41. Typical Slinging Questions • Outline the precautions that should be taken during lifting operations with a mobile crane (8) • Outline the procedure for the safe lifting of a load by the crane, having ensured that the crane has been correctly selected and positioned for the job (8)
