Marcom, VIND4239EM, DVD Program Forklift Safety Industrial Counterbalance Lift Trucks
Moving materials around the workplace quickly and efficiently takes a lot of skill. And it's a big responsibility.
Often the best "tool" for the job is a specialized piece of "materials handling" equipment that most of us call a "forklift". Even though these vehicles can make certain jobs a lot easier, they can also be very dangerous. Thousands of workers are seriously injured in forklift accidents every year… and more than 100 are killed. And the people who get hurt include both "pedestrians" and forklift operators.
In addition to the human cost, forklift accidents can also cause damage to materials, facilities and the forklifts themselves.
Fortunately, these accidents can be prevented if forklift operators understand a forklift's limitations… and learn how to operate it safely.
MARCOM's Video On Demand (VOD) program on "Forklift Safety: Industrial Counterbalance Lift Trucks" gives employees the information they need to properly maintain and safely operate a forklift, the most common type of industrial counterbalance lift truck.
