Certification: Operators must be certified in the rough terrain class (Class VII) of forklifts, as their handling, stability, and usage environments are significantly different from standard sit-down or stand-up forklifts.
If not certified proven at least 1 year of experience
Safety Protocols: Operators must be skilled, alert, and a staunch believer in safety and its importance.
Equipment Inspection: Before any work, a complete inspection of the forklift must be done to ensure it is in good working condition.
Dynamic Worksite Awareness: Operators need to understand the challenges of working at busy job sites and adopt strategies to reduce risks and maintain safety.
These specifications and requirements are essential for ensuring the safety and efficiency of rough terrain forklift operations in various job sites. Employers must provide job-specific, hands-on training tailored to rough terrain equipment and worksite conditions.
