Where is a prohibited location for parking a forklift?

Parking a forklift near a first aid station is a prohibited location due to safety considerations. First aid stations are designated areas meant for treating injuries and providing medical assistance. Keeping these areas clear ensures that emergency personnel can access them quickly if needed, and allows for rapid response to any medical issues that might arise in the workplace. Blocked access could lead to delays in treatment, potentially worsening an injury, or making it difficult for individuals in need to reach safety or care.

In contrast, parking near a loading dock, while it may be regulated, is typically permissible as it is part of the operational area for loading and unloading goods. Similarly, parking close to a fire extinguisher is also generally allowed as long as it does not obstruct the access to the extinguisher, which must be readily available in case of a fire emergency. Parking in open areas is more preferable as it provides a clear and unobstructed space for maneuvering without interfering with other operational activities.
