Forklift Hints: Expensive insurance policies made worthless by unsafe practices

Expensive insurance policies made worthless by unsafe practices …

Not only can unsafe work practices hurt people—they could damage
YOUR business.

To keep your workplace safe, your staff need to understand their WH&S responsibilities.

They also need to know how to use equipment safely to avoid dangerous short cuts.

Don’t get caught!

One of our clients recently learnt a very expensive lesson about the dangers of over-loading: Their insurance company refused to pay a claim when they determined what caused the accident.

And this left our client to foot the bill all by themselves.

Fortunately, this warning gives you the opportunity to put an end to overloading and other unsafe workplace practices before you find yourself in a similar situation. Especially if it could cost you thousands or millions of dollars.

That’s why you must take the responsibility to make sure that your forklift drivers:

Drive carefully,
Transport loads correctly, WITHOUT over-loading,
Stack loads safely, and
Monitor safety gauges and report any problems, even if they appear to be minor.
