Workers should not be elevated on the forks of a forklift. A forklift
doesn't have a holding (lock) valve in the lift system and is not designed
for a person to be on or under forks if elevated. If some one gets hurt
you will be open to some major legal problems if in the U.S.. You can rent
"manlifts" and "safety harness plus lanyard" for hoisting personal.

Or you can review the regs. It's ok to lift people with a forklift if

a) They are on a lifting platform that is secured to the lift
and
b) That platform has a proper guardrail.


And shame if you don't.
Like the guys in this German safety video.

Endure the opening scenes,
the real fun starts around 01:45.
