What a Forklift Charging Risk Assessment Covers

Forklift charging risk assessment is a core routine safety management work for all enterprises that use electric material handling equipment, which aims to eliminate hidden dangers in the whole process of battery charging, replacement and post-operation management, avoid fire, electric shock and equipment damage accidents, and guarantee the normal operation of on-site logistics. The first part of the assessment covers the basic environment of the charging area, including whether the site is set in a non-flammable and open area far from high-temperature heat sources, whether the ground is laid with anti-skid and anti-corrosion special materials, whether the surrounding is equipped with qualified fire fighting facilities, and whether there are clear no-smoking and no-idle-person warning signs in the area. The second part of the assessment focuses on the performance and safety status of charging equipment, including checking the integrity of charging lines, whether the line aging and exposed copper situations exist, whether the matching degree between the charger parameters and the forklift battery specifications meets the standard, and whether the overcharge, overheat and short circuit protection functions of the charger can operate normally. The third module covers the standardization of personnel operation, which checks whether the on-site charging operators have received professional safety training, whether they strictly follow the operation steps to connect the power supply and battery interface, whether they will leave the charging site without permission during the whole charging process, and whether they can correctly handle small abnormal situations such as slight battery overheating. In addition, the assessment also includes the safety status inspection of the battery body, check the outer shell integrity of the power battery, whether there is liquid leakage, bulging and other abnormal phenomena, and verify the regular maintenance record of the battery to ensure that the battery is within the safe service life. For enterprises that carry out relevant assessment work for the first time, they can seek professional technical support from Jianshu New Energy, and the cooperative service cases of BYD Forklift in the field of safety management can also provide effective reference for the formulation of assessment rules.
