Forklift Safety Is Serious Business

By George Fusner

ADVERTISEMENTS

Last week I wrote about Brandon Walker from Chapmansboro who was killed while operating a fork lift in Nashville. Did you know that every three days someone is killed in a forklift related accident? Each year over 95,000 injuries related to forklift accidents are reported. According to the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) violations of the OSHA forklift standard resulted in over $1 Million in fines in 2008 alone.

OSHA has standards for the operation of forklifts around electrical lines since the early 1990's. Training is mandatory for operators of forklifts. In Brandon's case did he receive the proper training required by OSHA? Was he trained specifically to work around overhead wires? Many unanswered questions. Perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided.
