Evaluate forklift operators with a practical checklist covering pre operation inspections, safe maneuvering, signaling, speed control, and pedestrian right of way. Verify correct load handling, rack loading and unloading, reel stacking, ramp and dock plate use, and traveling with clear visibility at the proper mast height. Include parking procedures with controls neutralized, brakes set, and power off, plus propane tank change steps and maintenance reporting. Reinforce the stability triangle, load limits, PPE use, trailer loading and unloading procedures, and site traffic rules. Use signatures and overall performance to document competence and retraining needs.
