Let's talk Forklift Safety...🗣️ You don't need us to tell you the risks that occur with operating forklifts. However, we feel it's important to shine light on some of the key safety tips, as well as outlining WHY they're so important. 🖋️ Management is responsible for ensuring operator restraints, such as seat belts, are being used because they save lives. The primary purpose of the operator restraint on a forklift truck is to keep the operator within the protective structure (“cab”) in the event of a tip-over. It prevents the operator from sliding out of, or attempting to jump away from, the cab, and being crushed between the framework and the ground. Management responsibility extends beyond provision of equipment and training, and includes a requirement to enforce the use of safety equipment. Keep your employees safe whilst also protecting yourself. #forkliftsafety #forklift #forklifthire #forklifemaintenance #materialhandlingequipment
