[@Robidu1973]

If the schedule is impossible to meet, I'd just let the machines run out of material so production grinds to a halt. Since the machine operators don't blame me for it (they know what I'm capable of doing), they make an appropriate statment in their production reports that surely gets seen by our boss. The results could become interesting.

[@Crogatho]

I know right? I work as a reach truck operator in Sweden, I am one out of THREE reach truck operators in our company, yet we supply the entirety of Sweden with their DIY and paint supplies, luckily we have a fourth truck on the way. Anyway, I am constantly filling up picking locations and trying to work around the orderpickers, and they almost never follow safety guidelines and regulations. This one time I was raising a pallet up to the 5th shelve (nearly 9 meters up), and this guy walked UNDERNEATH my load trying to pick something!! I didn't notice him because I keep my eyes on my load, as I should. So I begin to extend the mast, and he was still there. He had to jump ONTO the pallet in front of him in order to not get crushed. He then had the BALLS to blame me for not seeing him!! Like, what the fuck, BASIC warehouse rules say to stay away from reach trucks with their loads high up in the air, at least the length of the mast in distance. Those pickers never do. Pickers... am I right?

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

@@Crogatho In my warehouse, reach truck drivers are also the pickers. We take turns. It’s a great sharing of responsibility.

[@KarlWyn]

I do agree on that starting your work shift is always a serious mistake 😔

[@Patfettx]

Time = money. The more time a driver takes to operate, the more money the company loses and that's the bottom line. Drivers should not have to feel this pressure, they're not the owners of said company and they don't foot the bills. BUT, they do feel the pressure, self imposed or boss imposed. That's when they start taking shortcuts and bam, somebody gets injured or worse, dies. So drivers have got to use their judgement and keep a balance between speed vs safety. Sadly, judgement is an ability that not everyone seem to possess.

[@alfabutt1]

I teach and I think this is a great neutral comment. In a perfect world we can drive this way 100% of the time, however, due to idiots in management they expect everything done faster. This only leads to mistakes and complacency which if someone is injured or worse could close a place down which in turn nothing will get done and no money will be coming in.

[@davidmurphy1207]

Very true. You could definitely go faster than this. Bottom line production based budgets start getting curbed real quick when a single wrongful death suit claiming pressure from quotas had a hand in the accident has a massive impact on that bottom line. A single death could cost millions in lost revenue. Couple that woth workman's comp claims and it's a losing strategy exacerbated by a tightening labor market. Safety was easily overshadowed in the past decades. In the last 5 years logistics is going away from this credo.

Thank you so much for these tips. i recently graduated out of Forklifting Operations Safety from MidFlorida and the class only took 3 days to learn. Afterwards I kept watching tip videos so I won't jump into these kinds of jobs and make a mistake. So far when I was going through this training sequence I only made one mistake. Not properly placing my load whether it was big or any other size. I already know the safety of ALWAYS looking back once you hooked on your load. And always wait until you reach your destination to raise your load for placement. This helps VERY much.

Goods load onto second-level shelf/rack is not supposed to be shrink wrapped as we use tugger to reach to pick ordered-items onto tugger from this second-level shelf/rack . Meaning folklift drivers get the shrink-wrapped loads from somewhere and have to cut the shrink-wrap from the load before loading the it onto this second-level shelf/rack.

[@LooseGripHandle]

I did a course this week and passed for 2 forklift trucks, the practices used here were similar but ours were intensive in safety. The course allows for only 25 points. 3 of them can be added for distances and non vertical mast. Fatal 5 points is considered an observational check, or drive ng with forks raised above a certain height, even driving up inclines can get you points. Ive warched some failure videos today, brolliant examples of ehat can go wrong.

[@danconnors8961]

great job guys, any other ones? You can easily use this for a tool box meeting.

[@Hothenrik]

The second guy also had his head hanging outside the confines of the truck, since he was carrying an oversized load which was obstructing his view, and that should have been yet another mistake. Traveling in reverse to have a "better view" is not recommended. It should only be done when actually backing away from the load location after receiving or delivering a load, or when moving the truck out of a parked position where there is not sufficient room to move forward and out of that position. He should have taken those 2 pallets in separate loads rather than take them together in one oversized load, even with someone to guide him. No pedestrian should be near the fork truck when it is in motion. This is coming from someone who is very interested in becoming a forklift operator. Learning as I watch more of these scenarios. SAFETY FIRST and ALWAYS.👍

Just like the car driving test everything is just so proper and safety comes first but in reality most of it goes out the window, theres pressure of time and workplace, i'd say the most crucial step is checking if your vehicle is working correctly.

[@michaeltrudeau2222]

1st one no Tpm no beeping when backing up raised his forks before got to destination hands are outside of forklift

[@Ostsol]

Almost none of the safety precautions take any more time worth complaining about it. Looking behind you before backing up is just common sense, just as is driving backward when your forward view is fully obstructed by the load. Lifting and traveling is not a big deal, so long as you're reasonable about it and have cleared the workspace beforehand. If the site is being worked properly, others will not be trying to scoot in and around a moving forklift anyway. The nature of the crates and aisles I deal with require that one lifts and turns into the racking, rather than the other way around. Move fast when it's safe and slow when there are risks. Common sense.

[@weeardguy]

Yep. There are a few people at work that always drive forwards with a load so big you can't oversee it AT ALL. I always make sure I'm not around when they are moving it as I just consider it plain dangerous. Lifting while travelling: darn, if I could not do that, jobs would take a lot longer. But indeed, sometimes I pick up loads I know are wobbly and I certainly won't be lifting while driving towards the truck.

[@RossLemon]

What's common sense for you might not be common sense for someone else.

[@Thealmightybyron]

Useful entry level learning tool. Now for the fork truck operator in me, definitely a demo truck. There’s absolutely no scratches on the sides or back plate and the forks look absolutely brand new. On a serious note, why is there no pulse light on the rear of the cage? Also I’m fairly certain OSHA requires all PITS, regardless if it’s a high reach stand up, standard loader or warehouse forklift, or MO/tugger trucks to have their headlights on. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’d also like to add that most forklift to pedestrian accidents are caused, not by operator error/unsafe operations, rather pedestrians being distracted by paperwork, cellphones, and ESPECIALLY, not following safety protocols involving following designated walk ways. Where I work, it’s a constant problem, people have been hit, it’s always the operator, with no load, simply didn’t see them because of the mast, and the pedestrian came across a production line into the drive path into the lift its self. Just saying. Safety involves everyone, not just operators.

[@finniko1995]

Yep! I also see a lot of newbies coming waaaayyy too close to my reach forklift when I'm operating with a pallet on the top shelves, sometimes just outright coming below the forks even when I ask them to stay back. Orientation is way too short and lacks critical safety related instructions being taught, since even the trainees are too unaware of the rules. I'm basically the only person who takes stuff seriously sometimes. There was once a situation when one worker thought he could just come pick up his products right next to the forklift and when I told them the minimum distance from the reach forklift was 5 meters, he shucked "Oh I thought it only meant when I was on my forklift". Asked him why he thinks the rule exists in the first place and explained that if something were to happen and stuff started falling down, he'd be dead then and there.

[@Thealmightybyron]

@@finniko1995 seems to be that common sense is a rare trait these days. 😆. I am constantly dumbfounded that in moments like you described, that no one ever takes gravity into account. Most skids I deal with are interlocking poly totes, however, I often get products on my loads that are cardboard and wood pallets with really poor wrapping. If you’re like me, you probably despise repeating yourself? I grow very tired of telling pickers to back off. I have to constantly tell them when they get too close (they’re in a rush so they can get some down time to go take a 💩 or go get a snack or socialize/play on their phones before they deliver.) that if that falls, it isn’t going to be a clinic visit, it’ll more likely be a meat wagon hauling them to the morgue. All I get is “oh my bad”. 🤦🏻‍♂️. Always a young kid. Sometimes an old guy that just gives no F’s anymore. Either way, it’s stupid and management wants to blame the unloader/stocker, not the person breaking the rules.

[@supernova743]

I caught all the errors, however one thing we do at our warehouse is never travel distances or round corners forks first. If there's someone around that corner and you run into each other the forks are going to do much more damage to the machines or the product you're carrying than if your counterbalances hit each other. Also if you're traveling forks first and stop suddenly you risk loosing (some of) your load which can be especially dangerous to pedestrians. Our machines are set up so that the forks first travel doesn't have access to the higher speeds. This encourages operators to put the forks behind them.

[@tootruesheep872]

thats why you beep your horn several times and go slowly

None of those are violations. 1. Vests are only required for pedestrians not lift drivers. It is only required if the driver is split between groundwork and driving. 2. Unwrapped pallets can be placed in low steel but not high steel and if it is single layered or loose boxes. 3. Driving forks forward is allowed so long as visibly isn't blocked by a tall load. While companies may apply these rules, they aren't actually OSHA violations.

You’d be called useless for driving this slow at my work place lmao

[@kennithbrown4036]

SYL66 JAIME naw I get compliments meaning you care about your surroundings you must be a reckless I no give a shit operator

[@MRBRYFLIP]

Nothing would get done lmao

[@jbomb1414ify]

I get fork drivers should be careful but ya my boss for sure would have told me to move with a little more haste..

[@jimmorrison9287]

It's slowed down for demonstration purposes

[@alfabutt1]

Yeah, managers always want their staff to work quicker until there's an accident. Then all fingers point to the operator who feared for their job. I always say to my delegates, if you're constantly put under pressure by management and supervisors and you think it's unsafe, then the best choice you can make, is to leave that shit hole.

[@ancasilagyi4009]

Thanks for who making the lilm !!!

[@jefferylubinski528]

5:30 the second thing after he skipped inspection, should have been about driving with the forks forward the whole time. 3rd the no look horn and confirm your clear to back up.

[@chrisbilling2229]

What a joke! If you ever move that slow in most places you would be let go.

[@Dr_Nick_]

For the record, if you're let go at a company over driving like this, you can report them to your labour board. They will receive serious fines and you can sometimes receive compensation.

[@allyw7405]

I suppose safety and productivity is something you have to juggle with.

[@danieldabella4869]

They won’t let you go per say. They will more than likely move you to a less desirable position such as production or wherever depending on the type of company.

[@sverduijn1]

@@Dr_Nick_ The problem is, word gets around. Many companies don't care that much about safety. If you want a new job and they want to talk to your old boss. What will happen.....

[@davidmurphy1207]

Maybe back in the day that was true. With unemployment as low as it is and every employer getting more desperate for quality candidates, it's becoming harder to get picky about your labor force. You are pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel now. Your alternatives are usually ex-cons, opiate addicts, and the lazy entitled section of millennials. At this point, almost everyone that wants a job and is productive is already working.

He needs a job in flemington markets he would last 10 mins and be sacked for go slow driving by the owners.

what's wrong with Monday morning? A lot more than 4 things

[@stevechartrand4362]

Lifting while travelling? Oh man, that was perfectly safe to do the way he did it. If my staff did that? That's too damn slow.

Lol right that pallet better be in position when you reach your destination.

[@JessicaHicks]

Omg! Great video. Safety is so important! I actually made a video about how candidates are asked about safety and other things during our forklift operator job interviews.

[@waynevietnam]

Another well meaning video with several unrealistic points.

[@nmotschidontwannagivemyrea8932]

Yes, looking in the direction of travel for pedestrians before backing up is *so* unrealistic.

[@LeChasseur6]

@@nmotschidontwannagivemyrea8932 If you walk behind a forklift, you deserve what you get.

[@nmotschidontwannagivemyrea8932]

@@LeChasseur6 You take that attitude to a warehouse-style store like Lowe's or Home Depot and you're going to end up killing a customer.

[@cancelhandles]

@@LeChasseur6This isn't far from saying 'If you walk through a parking lot and get run over and killed because someone didn't look where they were going, you got what you deserved.' Hmmm... That doesn't seem right. Maybe you should try again.

i install racking, your single rack rows should have mesh on the back so pallets dont fall through!
