🚜 It's Forklift Safety Day! 🚜 Forklifts are essential and versatile machines in many industries, but misuse can lead to serious dangers. According to OSHA, annually there are between 35,000 and 62,000 injuries involving forklifts, with 128 fatalities reported between 2022 and 2023 alone. Proper training is crucial for the safety of forklift operators. It's estimated that about 70% of forklift-related injuries could be prevented with better training policies. Regular inspections are also vital to ensure that the machinery is operating correctly.

Today is National Forklift Safety Day! The objective of National Forklift Safety Day is to educate individuals on the best practices regarding forklift safety, the importance of operator training and the need for daily equipment checks. Did you know: in the event of a safety event involving a powered industrial truck, refresher training must be provided per OSHA 1910.178(l)(4)(ii)? This training must be provided when: ⛔The operator has been observed to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner ⛔The operator has been involved in an accident or near-miss incident ⛔The operator has received an evaluation that reveals that the operator is not operating the truck safely ⛔The operator is assigned to drive a different type of truck o ⛔A condition in the workplace changes in a manner that could affect safe operation of the truck. These incidents can be avoided by providing effective and informative training upfront and ensuring operators stay up to date with their skills! #NationalForkliftSafetyDay #WarehouseSafety #SafetyTraining

Even though today is National Forklift Safety Day, it's important to remember that equipment safety is an everyday practice. Take time to review your safety materials and ensure your operators are well-trained. #equipmentsafety #safetymaterials
