FORKLIFT ACCIDENT FACTS
OSHA estimates forklifts cause about 85 fatal accidents per year; 34,900 accidents result in serious injury; and 61,800 are classified as non-serious.
DID THE DESIGN OF THE FORKLIFT CAUSE YOUR INJURY?
In some cases, the forklift manufactuerer can be held responsible for the accident.
For a forklift to be used safely and effectively it must include the following safety features.
The forklift must have an overhead guard that prevents a load or an object placed on a higher rack from toppling over on the operator.
The overhead guard must be wide enough to protect the operator and must not interfere with the operator's maneuverability or sight.
Backrest extensions must be large enough to protect the operator from any load or portion of the load falling on him.
All manufacturers are mandated to install operator restraint systems in new forklifts. Older forklifts that do not have operator restraint systems should be fitted with these.
