Forklift trucks are an essential part of every large storage facility, but this comes with high risks – to your staff, assets and profit margin.
In the UK there are 5 forklift related accidents every day* and they are now considered the most dangerous form of transport in the workplace. Pedestrians are most at risk (57%) and this is why the team at Fork Truck Control have an extensive range of Safety Lighting products to reduce incidents in areas such as loading bays and where staff and forklifts are in close proximity.
FTC have developed their range of visual warning devices for any type of materials handling equipment and it includes a choice of spotlights, arrows and danger zones. All of the product range have multiple voltage options and the lights are available in either blue or red.
The LED lights project on to the floor at the front or back (or both) of the forklift acting as a warning to approaching pedestrians. They can be lit constantly or when the direction of travel is engaged.
The Danger Zone option surrounds the vehicle and can be adjusted to the distance of you choice. This ‘No Go Zone’ is proven to reduce foot injuries and collisions from rear end swing.
Company bosses are responsible for setting safety standards and the number of prosecutions in recent years has risen significantly. With correct safety measures and training in place, as a manager you can expect not only better morale in the workplace but more importantly a reduction of accidents an possible legal implications. Not to mention a positive impact on your bottom line.
