Forklift Battery Safety

The large industrial sized batteries utilized to power electric forklifts should be charged frequently and properly maintained. Safety measures must always be followed while connecting the battery to the charger. It is really essential to inspect fluid levels in the battery.



Personal Protective Equipment - PPE

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



Emergency Eyewash Station

Near the charging area should be an emergency eyewash station. The route to the station should not be blocked and an employee who is injured must be able to go to the eyewash post from the charging place within 10 seconds without running.



Charger Safety

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



Open Flames

Open fire are not allowed near a battery and charging area. Do not permit items like for instance matches or lighters to be used while an employee is inspecting the battery fluid levels.



Ventilation

It is vital to keep the battery charging place properly ventilated. The recharging process can cause fumes to be released. These gases are both explosive and toxic.
