Lift Truck Battery Safety

The power to operate electric forklifts is supplied by large industrial batteries that need to be charged frequently and maintained properly. Safety measures must always be followed when someone connects the battery to the charger. It is really essential to check fluid levels in the battery.



PPE - Personal Protective Equipment

It is vital for employees working with a forklift battery to wear eye protection. Other PPG include goggles, safety glasses, or a full face shield. The best way to protect both clothing and skin from other residue or leaked acid is to put on thick rubber gloves on the hands and an approved apron on the body.



Emergency Eyewash Station

An emergency eyewash post should be located near the charging area. The path to the station should not be obstructed and a worker who is injured should be able to go to the eyewash station from the charging place in 10 seconds without running.



Charger Safety

The charger must be the same amperage as the battery. It should be turned off while the battery is being plugged in.



Open Flames

When near a charging area and battery, open flames are prohibited. Do not permit items like for instance matches or lighters to be utilized when someone is inspecting the battery fluid levels.



Ventilation

The battery charging place also has to be well ventilated. The recharging process could cause fumes to be released. These gases are both toxic and explosive.
