Risk Assessment Forklift

This document is a risk assessment from Gama For Trading and Contracting Co. for unloading materials by forklift. It identifies potential health and safety hazards, their effects, initial risk level, existing control measures, and residual risk level after controls. Key hazards include miscommunication leading to incorrect work, untrained forklift operators, personnel being struck, speeding, equipment failure, and dropped items during unloading. Control measures include proper permitting, trained operators, speed limits, pre-start checks, secured loads, barricades, and PPE. Implementation of controls reduces the risk level of all identified hazards to low or medium.
