Safety Issues
Safety can be achieved through
  • The use of correct equipment type for every job
  • Proper equipment maintenance
  • Proper and thorough training given to operators
  • No shortcuts
  • Continuous company focus on safety from the top down


The results of a safe working environment will mean

  • Everyone goes home safe
  • Reduced workers compensation costs
  • Reduced product, facilities, equipment damage
  • Improved productivity and customer satisfaction


“Training goes beyond the truck you're purchasing. It's all about the plant setting and the corporate culture. To do it right, if it's an order picking application, the whole work methodology needs to be addressed. It's also important that operators realize why trucks are being implemented as opposed to just saying "Here's your new truck and here's how it works." It is a matter of life or death.” - Jim Shephard
