It is advisable when using the forklift that the driver operates it in reverse. It requires a lot of training for perfection. This will help to reduce the risks involved by the creation of the blind spots. Also, due to the instability of the forklift, while lifting the loads, all those working near the forklift are advised to stand at a distance during the action in order to avoid these accidents (Degaev, Orlov, Haddad, & Pleshivtsev, 2018). During the recharging and fueling of the forklift, people should avoid smoking or any heat-generating activities that may catalyze the creation of a fire.
