Every Year a significant number of people get injured and killed by accidents involving vehicles in the workplace
Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and appropriately by operators who are appropriately trained and competent to use them.
Forklifts can be dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing) because the driver did not see them. Owing to their size and weight, injuries resulting from forklifts are generally very serious. Accidents involving them are often caused by poor supervision and a lack of training.
Always:
Wear appropriate personal protective clothing as provided by employer. Hard hat, protective footwear and high visibility clothing are recommended as a minimum when working around forklifts. Other equipment may be needed depending on the working environment
Report defects immediately to supervisor
Make sure work path is free of obstructions
Wear operator restraints, where fitted
Look all around before moving off
Look in the direction of travel
Avoid sudden stops and violent braking
Take care when driving on wet, icy , slippery or loose surfaces Slow down at corners, doorways, and at danger spots
Sound the horn several times when approaching blind corners, exits and entrances
Switch off and remove the key before leaving the forklift. Place the key in a safe location when driving task is completed
Apply the parking brake before leaving the forklift
Report any accidents or near misses to a supervisor
Park the forklift in a safe place, on level ground; never on a slope
Leave the forklift with the mast tilted forwards and the forks fully lowered, with the tips on the floor
Apply the parking brake, select neutral, switch off the engine and remove the key
Return keys or other activating devices to their place of safe-keeping
Report any malfunctions or defects immediately to a supervisor.
Assess the load before lifting. Check weight, size, load centre and security
Make sure that pallets are in good condition
Observe floor loading limits & Travel slowly when going down slopes
Find out the weight of the laden forklift
Check safe working load (SWL) of racking before placing loads onto it
Make sure load does not obstruct view. If it does, drive in reverse, looking in direction.
Make sure there is adequate clearance for the forklift and load, including overhead
Make sure the load is stable, Carry the load as close to ground as possible, Use controls smoothly & arms are fully inserted when travelling with a load
Position forks properly and as widely as possible
Make sure the fork Make sure the forklift is stopped before raising the load
Use suitable attachments for lifting unusual or wide loads
Ensure the forks face uphill when travelling up or down slopes with a load
Ensure the forks face downhill when travelling up or down slopes without a load
Adjust the tilt (where fitted) to suit the gradient and raise the forks to clear the ground

Working around heavy equipment can be extremely dangerous. Too many workers are killed each year when they are run over or struck by these pieces of machinery. It’s important to know the safety precautions to take when working in the vicinity of heavy equipment such as dump trucks, front-end loaders, cranes, Excavator, Bob Cat, Forklift, Concrete Mixture Truck, other heavy trucks/Equipment's, etc.
Every year many minor and unnecessary incidents occur due to negligent and unwise use of in-house transport equipment. This information poster was developed to remind users, in an easy-to-follow way, how to work safely with electric pallet trucks.

Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and properly by operators who have been trained and are deemed competent to use them. Forklifts are dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing). Forklift accidents can cause serious injury, death, property and product damage. Accidents can be prevented if risk assessment are conducted, safe work procedures are followed, regular Tool Box Talks are conducted and HSE continuous surveillance observations of work tasks are performed periodically.
Common Forklift Hazards:
• Overloading
• Unsafe Stacking
• Speeding
• Unauthorized operation of forklift
• Untrained forklift operators.
• Pedestrians and forklifts moving in the same place.
• Obstruction in the path e.g. overhead, uneven ground surfaces, blind corners etc.
• Reversing
Common Safe Practices:
• Prior to use, forklifts must be inspected by a competent person, & inspection sticker should be posted on it.
• Only trained and authorized operators can operate a forklift.
• Carry out daily forklift pre-operation checks using checklist.
• Report to supervisor any forklift damage or problem.
• Don’t use a forklift to lift a worker.
• Check the load loads carefully before moving them for stability and damage.
• Slow down and sound the horn at crossings, and locations where view is blocked.
• Do not authorize anyone to stand or walk under the load or forklift machinery.
• Be aware of the height of the load, mast and overhead guard of the forklift when entering or existing buildings.
• Don’t handle loads that are above the weight capacity of the forklift.
• Follow the speed limit.
• Flagmen must be available while forklift is in operation.
• Focus on the travelling path and keep a clear view of it.
• When leaving a forklift, pull the parking brake, lower the forks and neutralize the controls.
• Don’t drive and raise load at the same time
• Don’t make sudden sharp turns
• Don’t brake suddenly when the forklift is loaded.
• Watch out for overhead structures (e.g. pipes & beams)
• Follow traffic management.
• Use rear view mirrors and camera while reversing.
NEVER allow people to be below a suspended load at any time!

Accidents caused by powered industrial trucks (PIT), commonly called forklifts or lift trucks, can arise due to a misuse of the machinery itself, as well as poor or unsafe working conditions. As an employer, the biggest opportunity for reducing these incidents is to prepare your team and monitor the state of your workplace.
ts aim is to remind us all of our basic responsibilities when it comes to the safe operation of fork lift trucks. In fact, we almost called it a ‘Back to Basics’ campaign – but we want it to be more than that.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Driver and Operator’s PPE: Non – Compliance
(Serious, repetitive, widespread and cultural
For some unknown and inexplicable reason, and despite all the Arabtec rules and regulations on
PPE, all ATC projects are continuing to permit drivers and machine operatives on to their sites
(“Safety Starts Here – No – PPE – No Work”) who are:
wearing sandals, flip-flops, trainers instead of SAFETY BOOTS.
wearing casual clothes or national costume (generally loose, baggy and light clothing)
instead of industrial PROTECTIVE CLOTHING.
wearing dark jumpers or other top clothing instead of HIGH VISIBILITY VESTS
not wearing eye protection (in open vehicles) initial of SAFETY GOGGLES
no nose and mouth protection (in open vehicles) initial of FACE MASKS
wearing caps, cloths or nothing on their heads instead of SAFETY HELMETS
not wearing (unbuckled) SEAT BELTS (which is a key PPE item for drivers)
There are NO EXCEPTIONS in the Arabtec or legal safety requirements in the wearing of PPE.
The other serious issue which concerns our Management, Construction, Plant and HSE teams, is
that we Do Walk By, do not check, and do not stop and the practice, which legally is condoning
the practice which do not discipline (= termination) which puts your project and Arabtec in legal
jeopardy.

Tyre Safety
Tyre related accidents cause around 5% of the UAE traffic fatalities. All vehicle tyres must be procured, fitted and maintained properly,
considering the climate of the UAE. Proper tyre maintenance is an important safety function often neglected. Maintaining proper tyre
pressure, observing tyre and vehicle load limits and inspecting tyres for cuts, slashes and other irregularities are important to avoid tyre
failure such as tread separation or blowout and flat tyres. Remember, tyres are the only contact between your vehicles and the road and
poor tyre Maintenance could result in serious accidents.
Under-inflation/Over-inflation
Lower tyre pressure can create overload on tyres and overheat the tyres resulting in tyre damage. Over inflation causes increased stress to
internal materials which can result in premature failure, poor traction and change in vehicle handling/stability.
Check the tyre pressures at least once per month using a reliable or calibrated gauge. The recommended pressures are quoted in the
vehicle owner’s manual or on a sticker usually attached to a door frame or fuel cover. Make sure that the pressures are checked when the
tyres are “cold”, i.e. driven less than 3 km before the check.
Tyre Wear-Visual Check:
Check for obvious signs of wear such as wear of the treads, cuts, cracks or other visual damage.
The legal minimum level for tyre tread depth is 2mm. Once a tyre reaches this point it will have
lost 90 per cent of its performance. The RTA recommends replacing tyres no later than 5 years.
Also, regularly check the age, condition and air pressure of spare wheel to avoid having a spare
tyre unfit for use when needed.
30. 30
“Workers Lives Matter”
Tyre Safety
Tyre Rotation and wheel alignment:
Tyre rotation reduces irregular wear. For maximum mileage, rotate tyres every 10,000
km. A wheel balance and alignment check at this time will help the potential life of the
tyre
Other Precautions:
Use only reputable branded and certified tyres. Avoid fitting tyres which may be
substandard and therefore potentially unsafe.
Use the correct tyre type and dimension for your vehicle. Refer to the vehicle
owner’s manual or ask for expert advice if not sure.
Inflating tyres with Nitrogen instead of air can help to maintain pressure stability
for longer periods
It is highly recommended that all four tyres be replaced at the same time
Respect the load and speed capabilities of the tyres fitted to the vehicle by not
exceeding them
Use the correct size of tyres as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs)
Mobile Elevated Work Platforms (MEWPs) must be certified by an approved third
party as per the applicable regulations and valid inspection and testing certificates
must be displayed. Everyone working on MEWPS shall wear a full body safety harness
fitted with double lanyards attached at all times to a fixed anchorage point.
The following must be ensured when MEWPs are being used:
A written pre-operational checklist for the MEWP must be completed and signed off by the
supervisor.
Risk Assessment must be conducted and a Permit To Work must be obtained before use.
Ensure tool box talks and pre-start briefings on MEWPs are site specific and a safe system of
work is in place.
MEWPs should be operated on level ground surfaces which are stable and will not compress
under the weight of the MEWP, operatives and/ or material.
Prior to operation of MEWP, the weather conditions need to be assessed and MEWPs must not
be operated in adverse weather.
The area around the MEWP must be barricaded and warning signs must be placed.
A minimum of three trained, experienced, competent and certified operatives (two at the
platform and one at the ground) must be available for every MEWP being used. This will
ensure that in case of an emergency, the operative at the ground can take control the MEWP.
The platform must be fully lowered when the MEWP is being moved and the flagman to guide
the movement.
Strictly manage other equipment which is in close proximity (for example, other MEWPs,
cranes, teleporters) and ensure it is under competent supervision.
Have the SWL displayed In a prominent location.
Be equipped with flashing warning lights, audible warning device, fire extinguisher and a first
aid box.
Ensure maintenance records are kept up to date and documented

Fatal Incident Involving Reversing PMV
Reversing into
the trench
Location of fatally
injured person
On 18th May, 2019, approx. 9:13 am, while working in a trench, an Infrastructure
Subcontractor worker was struck and fatally injured by a reversing mechanical Shovel
which was working in the same area, on a different work task. Emergency Services
were immediately called, and Ambulance & Police attended to the incident location
shortly after the incident.
1. There was no consideration for two separate teams of workers conducting
different tasks, one involving plant
2. There were no physical barriers between plant and manual works
3. There was no flagman, no charge hand, no supervisor/foreman, and no
engineer overseeing either tasks (Neither subcontractor nor Arabtec).
4. There was no PTW for the Shovel - (only one for an excavator which had just dug
the small shallow cross trench), the “All Clear Safe to Work” was a "Tick and
Flick” exercise with location, task and PTW number left blank.
5. No records of TBT or Pre-Start Briefing.
6. The reversing alarm on the shovel was not working.
7. The shovel operator had been allowed by all to operate in this area for 20 days
with all the same points 1 to 6.
NOTE: The incident could have been easily avoided by implementing the “Arabtec
Man -Machine-Task-Environment” risk assessment process, involving a physical pre-
start visual assessment.

Lessons Learnt:
Two concurrent work activities in the same area must never be allowed without
exclusion zone/physical hard barriers. Man-Machine overlap must never be
allowed. Re-schedule, or Segregate.
Hard barriers or Jersey Barriers must be filled as per Manufacturer’s Instructions
and not left empty (as communicated via HSE Alert 56 Jersey Barriers). Empty
Jersey Barriers and/or ticker-tape are not barriers.
Inspect and test all PMV before operation, including brakes, reversing alarms,
lights, and reversing mirrors.
Ensure trained flagmen are assigned.
Ensure works are supervised.
Arabtec Construction team must never rely on subcontractors to fully self-manage
their own safety planning, controls, training or supervision.
Important Notice (which is included in a new Arabtec Safety Standard # 40):
Reversing cameras are mandatory and must be installed on all PMV, including
those of subcontractors, to ensure 360 degree view.
