Many accidents involving industrial trucks are due to the human element. Industrial
trucks must be operated at all times in a sensible and responsible manner and within
their performance capabilities. The requirements in the standard dealing with
qualifications of operators and identification of authorized operators place a
responsibility on the user to only authorize employees having adequate skill,
knowledge and sense of responsibility.
The operation of industrial trucks on gradients is completely dependent upon the type,
size and purpose of the particular industrial truck. Each application has to be treated
on its merits with the industrial truck manufacturer or distributor recommending what
limitations need to be applied to the conditions of use.
