The Dangers of Forklifts

Forklift Accidents can take Lives

Forklifts are dangerous machines that cause injuries and deaths. Workers need to be aware of the dangers associated with operating them. OSHA estimates that about 110,000 forklift-related accidents occur annually in 2022. An American worker dies due to a forklift-related incident every 3 days. Accidents cost companies money, too. On average, accidents cost companies $48,000 per disabling injury and $1,400,000 per fatality.

It’s unfortunate when such a dangerous piece of machinery ends up in the hands of untrained personnel. Please stay safe!
