Guidance regarding the known hazards. Primarily addressed to managers and supervisors controlling the use of lift trucks at sites storing flammable gases or liquids. However, trade organisations or associations may wish to use the guidance as a basis for their own members.
Documenting the legal requirements in full and the classification of hazardous areas, the guide covers specifics regarding both diesel engine and battery-powered lift trucks. In addition to general safety matters, such as inspection and maintenance, training needs, emergency procedures and required permits to work, it also examines more detailed issues such as flashback, spark emissions, exhaust systems, vapour ingestion, overspeeding, temperature control and gas detection.
