Forklift/Pedestrian Safety System Enhancements

Oct. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Have you considered how minor incidents and forklift accidents can lead to lost productivity, higher insurance costs, and government fines for your company?

Is your safety program current for today’s modern fast-paced world or is it unconventional and unorthodox?  

In today’s modern industries, the risks of not having the latest safety program for forklift safety can ultimately cause a company to fail. Specialty Machinery & Equipment (SME) can set up a convenient time for an onsite safety consultation and review.  We will make recommendations and engineer safety solutions that fit the needs for your company.

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) nearly 100,000 injuries are reported each year as a result of forklift accidents. Of these, nearly 100 result in fatalities. The good news is that pedestrian involvement in forklift truck accidents can be controlled through better traffic management, in conjunction with safety equipment and awareness training.  At http://www.safe2cross.com, forklift traffic safety and pedestrian crossing safety is now available with the Safe2Cross Safety Gates and Safety Crossing Systems.  Our systems are now new and improved with optional Omni-directional laser sensor for forklift and pedestrians sensing and floor embedded high-intensity LED alert lighting.

When you think about training and pedestrian safety around forklift operators, there are many aspects that your safety program should consider. Call us today for a free on-site evaluation and BE PREPARED FOR ACCIDENTS.
