An active driver protection system or similar system must be used if available. The
driver protection system, which is intended to prevent injury to the driver's head and
trunk, forces itself between the truck and the ground if the truck tips over. It cannot
guarantee absolute protection against potential injury, however.
View when driving The driver must look in the direction of travel and must always
have a clear view of the route traveled. When transporting loads that restrict the
driver's view, the truck must be driven with the load at the end of the truck. If that is
not possible, a second person must walk ahead to provide appropriate warning of any
hazard.
Negotiating slopes and dips: Driving over sloping ground is only permitted if there
are recognized tracks, if they are clean and non-slip and if the technical data for the
truck allows it to travel safely over sloping ground. The load must be carried facing
uphill. Turning around, traveling at an acute angle, and parking the vehicle are
prohibited on sloping ground. Slopes must be traversed at low speed only and with
the brake ready to be applied.

Supervising and securing the truck
A powered industrial truck is regarded as being supervised if the operator is inside a
radius of 8 m/8.8 yards (25 ft), maximum, and keeps the truck in view.
A powered industrial truck is regarded as being unsupervised if the operator is
outside a radius of 8 m/8.8 yards (25 ft) and keeps the truck in view, or if the operator
leaves the vehicle and no longer has it in view.
Before leaving the driver's seat or operating position:
– Do not park the truck on a slope;
– Bring the truck to a complete stop;
– Move the direction of travel controls to neutral;
– Lower the load-handling equipment completely unless it is carrying a raised
platform.
The following measures must be taken before the vehicle can be left unsupervised
(see "Switching off and securing the vehicle" in Chapter E):
– Do not park the truck on a slope;
– Bring the truck to a complete stop;
– Lower the load-handling equipment completely;
– Immobilize the wheels or activate the ground or wheel lock(s);
– Turn the switch latch to position "0" and remove the safety key;
– Press the main switch or the EMERGENCY STOP switch.
You must not block access to fire escape routes, staircases or fire systems.

Lifting of people
If an industrial truck is not fitted with controls that can be operated directly from the
lifting device (as is the case with order pickers, for example), it should only be used
for lifting people if it was designed by the manufacturer for that purpose and if the
following rules are observed:
