A guy I went to HS with killed in a forklift accident not too long ago. I had no idea they were that dangerous.

i warn my employees about this all the time because they have become lax about everyday operations, I may get them to sign some waivers this week.

Hopefully they don't fork you up

He must have picked up numerous bundles of sheetrock which extended above the fork rack and just tilted backwards by taking off too fast or something.

My law degree may be from Judge Judy University, but is a waivier really gonna do anything if they're an employee?

some waivers? what kind of waivers exactly?
Posted on 2/21/17 at 2:14 pm to boosiebadazz
they aren't dangerous at all. Human error/lack of knowledge of the machine/ bad safety procedures accounts for 99.99999% of injuries and deaths on trucks.

Had a buddy who had an actual forklift fall on him back in October. Seeing stuff like this makes me realize how big a miracle it is that he's alive and not paralyzed.

Very dangerous.
Your larger operations from plants like exxon and dow to grocery/shopping places like costco and sams club have well-developed SOPs and safety programs in place as well as protected cages for the operator.
Not so much in small shops.

Okay let's say the potential exposure to hazard is HIGH.

They should be very specific..not just some ol' vanilla waivers.

You can get just as much accomplished with that waiver by wiping your arse with it.
Posted on 2/21/17 at 2:47 pm to mikelbr
Yeah, on a standard forklift, the cage above the operator's head will protect them for a large, broad object, but if it comes down vertically, like a piece or two of heavy sheetrock can, it could be deadly ..
