Selecting a Safe Forklift

If You Work in an Area Where These Are Present:			Then Use This Type of Forklift.
Hazard Classification			Acceptable Forklift Designations
Class I Flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in quantities sufficient for explosion or ignition			Division I Condition exists continuously, intermittently, or periodically under normal operating conditions.	Division II Condition may occur accidentally e.g., puncture of a storage drum.
Acetylene Cyclopropane Ethylene oxide	Acetaldehyde Diethyl ether Isoprene	Butadiene Ethylene Propylene oxide	Forklift use prohibited	DY, EE, EX(also DS, ES, GS, LPS) if the only exposure is sealed containers or liquefied or compressed gases in containers
Hydrogen (or gases or vapors equivalent in hazard to hydrogen, such as manufactured gas) Unsymmetrical dimenthyl hydrazine (UDMH).
Acetone Ammonia Butane Hexane Naphtha Propylene Vinyl chloride	Acrylonitrile Benzine Natural gas Styrene Xylenes Lacquer Solvent Ethylene dichloride	Alcohol Bensol Gasoline Propane Vinyl acetate	EX	DY, EE, EX(also DS, ES, GS, LPS) if the only exposure is sealed containers or liquefied or compressed gases in containers
Class II Combustible dust is present			Division I Explosive or conductive mixture may be present under normal conditions or where equipment failure can lead to both this condition and arcing or sparking.	Division II Explosive mixture not normally present but where deposits of dust may cause heat rise in electrical equipment
Aluminum, magnesium, and their commercial alloys Other metals of similarly hazardous characteristics			Forklift use prohibited	Forklift with electrical enclosures manufacturer approved where magnesium, aluminum or aluminum bronze may be present.
Carbon black, Coal or coke dust			EX	Forklift manufacturer approved for this location.
Other combustible dusts			EX	DY, EE, EX
Class III Easily ignitable fibers or flyings are present but not likely to be in suspension in quantities sufficient to ignite.			Division I Locations in which these materials are handled, manufactured or used.	Division II Locations in which these materials are stored or handled (other than manufacture)
Baled waste excelsior jute sisal tow	cocoa fiber hemp kapok Spanish moss	cotton istle oakem synthetic fibers	DY, EE, EX	DS DY ES EE EX GS LPS (Type E may continue to be used if used previously at this location.)
Unclassified Locations Piers and wharves inside and outside general storage, general industrial or commercial properties.			D, E, G, LP (more protective designations may also be used)
