What must you do with the key after parking the forklift?

After parking the forklift, it is essential to remove the key to prevent unauthorized use of the equipment. Leaving the key in the ignition can lead to safety and security risks, as someone could potentially start and operate the forklift without proper training or authorization. By removing the key, you ensure that only trained and authorized personnel can use the forklift, thereby promoting safety within the workplace.

While placing the key in a designated key holder could also be a part of proper protocol, simply removing the key is the fundamental action that mitigates the risk of accidents and misuse of equipment. The training on safety protocols emphasizes this step as a critical part of ending a shift or when the forklift is not in use.
