BLR’s new Special Report: The 5 Deadly Forklift Dangers: Don’t Let These Happen to You!
The forklift truck is a wonderful thing. It glides from place to place, lifting large loads from locations high and low, and effortlessly moving them.
Too bad it’s also a killer.
Yes, a killer. According to national safety figures, two workers die each week, on average, in forklift-related accidents. And some 20,000 more are seriously injured each year. How are they hurt? Largely through the accidents described in BLR’s special report, The 5 Deadly Forklift Dangers: Don’t Let These Happen to You!
More important, the report also describes, in great detail, the steps you and your employees can take to prevent such accidents, with their disheartening consequences, from occurring.
The five dangers are:
1. Forklift Overturns. A loaded forklift makes an SUV look like a model of stability, in comparison. These little trucks can roll over in the blink of an eye, often trapping their operators inside, or worse, underneath. The special report calls out behaviors that breed rollovers, and even instructs on what to do if your lift begins to topple.
2. Accidents Involving Nearby Workers. With a load blocking the operator’s view, and thousands of pounds of momentum, it’s easy to see why poorly operated lift trucks are deadly to anyone crossing their path. This report lays out 21 separate tips to keep traffic moving without endangering innocent bystanders.
3. Crush Injuries. Forklift operators often die, crushed by the very structure built onto the truck to protect against falling objects. But there are ways a driver can behave in an accident that minimize the danger. We’ll help you to train your people in them.
4. Falls from Forklifts. Lift trucks are often equipped with cages to raise workers above the floor to pick orders, change bulbs, or do other upper-level tasks. We’ll show you preventive steps to keep these cages, and the workers inside, from falling.
5. Maintenance-Related Dangers. A forklift can’t be safely operated if the machine itself is unsafe. We’ll spotlight the 16 most common maintenance problem areas, and also give your operator several special handouts to promote safe operation. These include:
- Daily Operator Checklist of 20 inspection items to go over every day before operation.
- Maintenance logs, allowing you to track essential servicing of the lift truck by date and service done. There are separate forms for gas and electric-powered models.
If you operate forklifts, we’re sure that you’ll agree that this information-packed special report would be a good thing to have at any price. But perhaps the best thing about it is that it’s yours absolutely FREE, for signing up as a charter subscriber to equally FREE Safety Daily Advisor.
