Forklift Loading - Daily Checks - Secure Loads - Brakes Set - Do not Stack too high - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Reinforce safe operating practices in areas where forklifts are in use. It brings together several important reminders in one place, helping operators remember key steps that prevent accidents and damage. By consolidating multiple instructions onto a single sign, workplaces can communicate essential safety measures efficiently, reducing visual clutter while maintaining clarity.

This sign is particularly valuable in loading bays, warehouses, factories, and distribution centres where forklifts frequently load and unload goods. Placing it near forklift charging stations, loading docks, and storage areas ensures that drivers and handlers see it before beginning work. These are high-risk zones for collisions, unstable loads, and tipping hazards, so having visual reminders right at the point of activity helps reinforce safety habits at the most critical moments.

The “Daily Checks” instruction reminds operators to inspect their forklifts at the start of each shift — checking brakes, steering, lights, and hydraulic systems. “Secure Loads” emphasizes the importance of ensuring that goods are properly balanced, strapped, or shrink-wrapped before moving, which prevents items from falling during transit. “Brakes Set” ensures that forklifts are immobilised when parked or during loading, avoiding roll-away incidents. Finally, “Do Not Stack Too High” warns against exceeding safe stacking limits that could compromise stability or obstruct visibility.

Overall, using a multi-message forklift safety sign enhances compliance with workplace safety standards and supports a proactive safety culture. It reminds employees that small oversights can lead to major accidents, while clear visual communication promotes consistency and accountability. By displaying the sign prominently in forklift operation zones, employers can help protect workers, equipment, and materials — ensuring a safer and more efficient working environment.
