COMMON FORKLIFT ACCIDENT INJURIES

Forklifts can cause fatal accidents for a wide range of reasons, including: 

  • Forklift operators not receiving proper training: The improper use of a forklift can lead to an accident with serious consequences. A lack of training on how the machine works will cause operators to not only be dangerous but also reckless, leaving their coworkers at risk for injury or worse. A proper understanding and practice around safe operation methods would eliminate most forklift accidents and many potential dangers that come from using these powerful tools incorrectly.
  • Pedestrian collisions: Working in factories and warehouses can often be very stressful, especially for those who work in fast-paced environments. Pedestrians often have their hands full with orders or projects that need completion quickly, and they might come into contact with forklifts operating at high speeds – which can cause serious injuries. 
  • Heavy loads and other unsafe driving conditions: an unstable load can create hazards for operators and those around, and poor maintenance may lead to unsafe conditions and potential injury or death. 

WHAT ARE THE COMMON CAUSES OF A FORKLIFT ACCIDENT?

There are several common causes of fatal forklift accidents: 

  • Loads falling off the forklift
  • Pedestrian employee collisions 
  • Forklift operators improperly using the forklift to carry loads that are too heavy 
  • Failure to perform adequate forklift maintenance
  • Improper workplace design for the forklift operator to navigate in 
  • Mechanical failures 
  • Overloading the forklift 
  • Lack of adequate safety training
  • Failure to observe the necessary safety regulations and safety procedures
