What lights are required on a forklift?

The most common lights on a forklift are headlights and tail lights (or brake lights). When they are configured on a forklift, headlights are located on the front of the forklift and tail lights are located on the rear or back of the forklift.

What is the blue lighton the back of a forklift?

That is where the vehicle approach warning light helps prevent dangerous collisions. As the forklift or other vehicle travels, a bright blue light glides across the floor about 15 feet ahead of or behind it (depending on the mounting location), letting pedestrians know that a fork truck is approaching.

Does OSHA require blue lights on forklifts?

The powered industrial truck standard doesn't mention blue, red, or flashing lights; BUT, they may be required under OSHA's General Duty Clause.
