Forklift Risk Assessment

Document background
The Forklift Risk Assessment is a mandatory safety document required under Danish workplace safety regulations for organizations operating powered industrial trucks. This document becomes necessary when forklifts are introduced to a workplace, when significant changes occur in operating conditions, or during regular safety review periods as mandated by Danish law. It addresses specific requirements outlined in the Danish Working Environment Act and related Executive Orders, particularly Executive Order No. 1109 on the Use of Technical Equipment and Executive Order No. 1234 on Workplace Assessment. The assessment must be regularly updated and includes detailed evaluation of operational hazards, control measures, and compliance requirements specific to the Danish regulatory framework.
