The forklift can be one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment in the workplace. For people suffering severe injury, or the surviving families of people killed, the effects are devastating. For employees and business owners that failed their legal duty to provide a safe workplace, the legal and financial costs can be overwhelming.
Though a forklift supplier rarely has any control how a forklift is ultimately used, all suppliers have a clear responsibility to ensure that any forklift is supplied safe and fit for purpose, and to take an active role in ensuring the user is fully aware of unsafe practices and basic operating guidelines.
Here at Linde Material Handling, we pride ourselves on our exceptional forklift safety standards. Our forklift safety features and ergonomics, across the entire range, are a cut above the rest.
