Forklifts are agile helpers and essential transport vehicles in a variety of businesses, as they ensure a fast and efficient flow of goods. They are equipped with many safety features. So why do we keep hearing about serious accidents involving these machines in the press? These incidents are mostly due to operational and handling errors. The dangers associated with the use of forklifts are diverse. It is no coincidence that regulations such as the Occupational Safety Ordinance and professional associations mandate appropriate training and regular instructions, while the Occupational Health and Safety Act places responsibility for actions and omissions on both employees and employers.
