What should be assessed for hazard during a telehandler workplace inspection?

Assessing hazardous locations is crucial during a telehandler workplace inspection because identifying areas where potential dangers exist helps in preventing accidents and ensuring safety. Hazardous locations can include zones with overhead power lines, uneven ground, or areas where workers are present. This assessment directly impacts the safety of operations by allowing the operator to recognize and mitigate risks associated with these dangers.

While evaluating the functionality of lights is important for ensuring visibility and safe operation, it does not address the environmental hazards that could lead to accidents. Documentation of operators, while necessary for compliance and record-keeping, does not directly relate to the physical hazards present in the work environment. Considering the age of machinery matters for maintenance and reliability, but it’s not a direct assessment of immediate hazards that could impact safety during operation. Thus, focusing on hazardous locations provides the most relevant information needed to maintain a safe worksite while operating a telehandler.
