Forklift safety

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, each year nearly 100 workers are killed in forklift accidents and another 20,000 workers are seriously injured. Telescopic forklifts have the advantage of increased reach extension and lifting capacity than a standard forklift, but this also creates its biggest limitation. Summit’s video/DVD training program, Telescopic Forklifts: Stabilize Your Safety, will ensure that your workers understand that additional risks have to be taken into account if you’re working around or operating this equipment so that depilating injuries and cost are avoided at any worksite. This program covers: what to do before starting up, maintaining stability, and best work practices. For more information call (800) 842-0466 or visit www.safetyontheweb.com.
