After the forklift is finished, can the forklift driver leave the forklift without removing the key? The answer is definitely no. When the forklift is finished, the driver must first drive the forklift to the forklift parking area, remove the key and turn off the power before leaving. This should be discussed from the following aspects:
一. From the perspective of forklift use regulations
1. From the perspective of safety regulations, the forklift stops working and the key must be removed when leaving. Although it does not directly violate the forklift regulations if the key is not removed after the forklift is turned off, it is an unsafe behavior. If other unauthorized personnel start the forklift without authorization, an accident may occur, causing casualties or property losses. From a safety perspective, the operator should remove the key when leaving the forklift to ensure that the equipment will not be misoperated.
2. From the perspective of internal enterprise regulations, the key is not removed after the forklift is turned off, which may violate the internal safety production regulations of the enterprise. In order to ensure production safety, equipment safety and personnel safety, enterprises often require forklift drivers to remove the key when leaving the forklift to prevent accidents.
二. Potential risk perspective
1. If the key is not removed, there is a risk of unauthorized personnel starting the forklift, which may cause collisions, crushing and other accidents, causing damage to surrounding personnel, equipment and goods. For example, in areas with dense personnel and goods such as warehouses, once the forklift is misoperated, the consequences are disastrous.
2. The forklift may be driven away by criminals, causing property losses to the company or the owner. Especially when it is unattended and the key is not removed, the possibility of the forklift being stolen increases.
三. Legal liability perspective
1. If an accident occurs because the key is not removed after the forklift is turned off, the relevant responsible persons may bear civil liability for compensation. For example, if the forklift hits the goods or personnel, the responsible person needs to compensate for the loss of goods or personal injury.
2. In some serious cases, such as causing major casualties or serious property losses, criminal liability may also be involved. It depends on the specific circumstances of the accident and local laws and regulations.
In summary, after the forklift is used, the driver should not leave without removing the key when leaving. The key should be removed to ensure safety and avoid potential risks and legal liabilities.
