Forklifts

Controlling the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

Using a forklift can be hazardous. Along with the risk inherent in driving any vehicle, using forklifts in enclosed spaces can result in carbon monoxide poisoning in operators and other workers.

Forklift training

This guidance is for training operators and instructors of powered industrial lift trucks (forklifts).
