The dangers of poor management around the forklift

Collision with a pedestrian is in the top 3 causes of fatal forklift accidents. This is due to the fact that the risks of collision are numerous and vary depending on the work situation. In addition, the forklift is a machine that moves constantly in an environment that is also constantly changing. The parking and traffic conditions of this machine and the environment in which it operates differ depending on the company and the context. Indeed, the organization of work is never the same, as is the layout of the premises, not to mention the loads as well as the operations carried out. Note that the forklifts themselves come in different versions. Given the uniqueness of each situation, it is the responsibility of each company to put in place the right safety devices. In particular, it is necessary to organize work efficiently and visibility must always be optimal. Finally, precise rules must be established and the risks must be known to everyone in order to better prevent accidents. Prox Secur assists you in securing the premises and in setting up the best conditions in order to avoid accidents related to forklifts.
