Forklift Safety
For all of their usefulness, forklifts can be
dangerous
and
unforgiving
if proper safety principles aren't adhered to. Forklifts, by nature, are
tricky to drive
and tend to carry heavy loads. Thousands of
injuries
and many
fatalities
result each year from workers being
crushed
by overturning trucks,
falling
from trucks or being
struck
by materials from the load they're hauling. Driver
training
and adherence to basic forklift
safety rules
could prevent majority of these tragedies from ever occurring.
