It is estimated that each year there are over 7000 reportable
injuries involving lift trucks.
These injuries, some fatal, cause suffering for those involved and
their dependants.
They also create a heavy cost on the employer's business - even an
incident not involving injury may result in costly damage to trucks,
buildings, fittings and the loads being handled.
Fork-lift truck accidents are frequently associated with lack of
suitable operator training.
Such training is essential and is the first step in reducing damage
and injury to key personnel.
