THE 3 MAIN REASONS FOR LIFT TRUCK ACCIDENTS ARE:
Lack of operator training / experience - Poor working conditions / badly designed layout.
Inadequate Lift Truck maintenance - To overcome this, management need to introduce safe systems of work that
include:
Accredited operator training which covers the principals for safe operation of Lift Trucks.
Procedures for traffic and pedestrian movements - Control and maintenance of Lift Trucks.
To achieve this managers and supervisors of Lift Truck operations should be trained in the principals required for safe operation of Lift Trucks and supervisors should, in addition, have sufficient knowledge of Lift Truck operation to be able to recognise inadequacies in the operation of the vehicle, and the training needs of the operators.
