SAFETY & ACCESSORIES
Safety is an important part of our commitment to customer satisfaction. Although safety is engineered into every truck, CLARK doesn’t stop there. CLARK offers a full range of products, services, and publications to help you improve material handling safety in your operation. As an employer, it is your responsibility to provide a safe working environment. Safety is not simple, but through the combined efforts of employers and employees, a safe work environment can be achieved. As every operation is unique, so too are the safety considerations unique. Each operation should have a defined safety plan to ensure a safe working environment for everyone involved. To help you learn more about what you should do to improve material handling safety in your business, CLARK has published a booklet called Employer’s Guide to Material Handling Safety. Your local CLARK dealer can assist you with obtaining this essential guidebook.
Below are some additional resources CLARK provides to help you boost safety in your facility.
TRAINING
OSHA requires training for forklift operators. CLARK dealers can provide help with operator and mechanic training courses and materials and offer a variety of training packages for stand-up, sit-down and pallet trucks.
MANUALS AND PUBLICATIONS
There are many helpful manuals and publications available through your CLARK dealer. Maintenance and parts manuals, as well as operator’s manuals, are ordered using the truck serial number. If you are starting a training program, ask your CLARK dealer about training materials.
ATTACHMENTS
Your dealer representative may be able to suggest an attachment to help you do certain jobs more safely or more efficiently. Check with your equipment supplier on the capacity rating of the truck when adding or changing an attachment. The capacity plate must be updated to show the correct rating.
PLANT SURVEYS
Trained dealership personnel can evaluate your operation to determine whether your trucks are right for your individual application. They will look at the loads you are handling, and compare the size, weight, and dimensions of the load to the truck’s rated capacity. They can tell you whether you are using the right type of tire for the work surface.
VIDEO PROGRAMS
Your CLARK dealer has a large selection of video programs, including operator training, maintenance, plant safety and application videos. Many operator and safety training videos are available in English and Spanish.
