Visibly safer forklifts
February 1st 2008 Accidents involving faulty
forklifts can be avoided using
the Safe-Truck Inspection
System from SG World,
which uses a 33 point preshift
check plus an additional
10 point weekly check to
build an inspection history
for every forklift on site and
ensure all equipment passes
a pre-shift check.
The system comes with a
highly visible yellow
inspection wallet which
remains on the vehicle to
clearly indicate its inspection
passed/failed status.
A cheque book sized
inspection pad covers all
critical items on the truck,
and a tick box duplicate is
retained in the pad for the
records. Safe-Truck ensures
compliance with the HSE
best practice guidelines given
in its 'Safety in Working with
Lift Trucks' publication, that
trucks should be inspected at
the beginning of each shift. More articles from SG World Ltd: |
