Powered Industrial Lift Trucks (commonly referred to as forklifts) are often included on OSHA’s annual Top Ten Most Frequently Cited Regulations. Just look at the latest workplace statistics and you can see why forklift safety is a critical part of any workplace safety program for those companies that have employees that operate forklifts:

• There are around 35,000 to 62,000 injuries every year related to forklifts.
• On average, there are 87 deaths per year due to forklift accidents. 
• Approximately 42% of all fatal forklift accidents involve being crushed by the vehicle when it’s tipping over. 

Due to their ability to move very heavy material with ease and precision, forklifts are a very commonly used piece of equipment at most companies. At the same time, forklifts themselves are also extremely powerful and heavy vehicles, which can create an inherent risk for companies that don’t take their safe operation seriously. This webcast will focus on the top 10 keys to operating forklifts safely, as well as some tips/guidelines for creating a robust forklift safety program at your company.
