Forklift Awareness: Knowledge is Your Best Safety Tool

A company was recently fined $100,000 after a worker was seriously injured in a forklift-related incident. The violation involved a failure to have an effective traffic control plan in place to protect workers from mobile equipment hazards.

This serves as an important reminder that workplaces with vehicle and pedestrian interaction must have clear, well-communicated traffic management procedures. Without them, the risk of serious injury increases significantly.

MSA supports members by offering:

• Traffic Control Planning Webinar to help you understand how to identify and manage workplace hazards
• Traffic Control Plan Consulting to support your locations traffic control plan through templates and guidance
• Theory-Based Forklift Training focused on the fundamentals of safe operation and hazard awareness
• Practical Evaluator - PME Forklift Operator Training to support internal competency and oversight

Taking a proactive approach to safety helps protect workers and reduce the risk of costly incidents.
