Forklift safety has once again become the focus of attention in the industry

The mortality rate and accident risk rate involved in the material handling and construction industries have always been high. The British Industrial Vehicle Association recently issued a warning to the industry again, emphasizing that factory supervisors need to take the safety of forklifts in Hangzhou more seriously

Recently, the association organized a forklift safety week competition, mainly focusing on the training of management and supervision personnel, which is also a weak but crucial link in the vehicle safety chain. In many industries, the risk of failure due to lax equipment supervision is particularly high in the construction industry

David Ellis, chief executive officer of the British forklift Association. You said: "each of the supervisors on the construction site is facing various risks and tests from the construction site. Therefore, we need to focus more on the safety of the construction site, instead of using this as an excuse for the high accident risk rate“

In most construction sites, the main reason why the forklift can not give full play to the best practice effect is that the mobility of forklift operators is large. It is difficult for supervisors to make everyone familiar with the regulations of safe operation, and the operators can not fully adapt to the changeable and harsh operating environment in a short time

These difficulties and challenges in operation are not limited to new operators. Some professional operators in construction companies may also encounter many equipment failures in a year, or meet various challenges in operation environment at the construction site, which may cause certain changes in forklift operation and the working mode of operators

In addition, weather conditions may also be a factor affecting the performance of operators. Construction workers need to consider adverse weather conditions such as rain, wind, fog and so on during the day's work.

"The supervisor of the construction site needs to understand all factors and make some remedial measures for the safety! Sentence," e 1115. You fan continued, "risk assessment is a routine and necessary procedure for the supervisor's work, and must also include correct and safe forklift operation."

"The more risks appear in the construction process, the more necessary it is for the supervisors to prevent accidents on the construction site. The construction workers should be protected accordingly. If the supervisors can give accurate guidance and training, the risk rate on the construction site and the safety level of the operators will be better controlled“
