Forklift truck accidents account for a significant number of workplace injuries and accidents at work. Due to improper training, bad workplace layout and poor maintenance many workplace accidents occur from the use of forklifts. In fact health and safety executives attribute more than 8000 accidents at work to the use of forklift trucks.
Your employer has a duty of care to protect you at work by providing a safe working environment. If you have had an accident in a forklift truck your employer can be made to pay adequate compensation if you have been injured as a result of his/her negligence.
Common accident types result from over turning, staff hit by the trucks, heavy loads being dropped or pushed onto people, collisions into walls etc. It is interesting to note that most transport related fatalities at work come from forklift truck accidents.
