Notice how the employee in blue took a look and judiciously moved out of the way. I actually think the employee operating the forklift thought he could overcome the inevitable by pushing on the steering wheel.
(That had to be a horrific decision to make for these five women who are aware that their families will now be made an example of by the bar...
Problem with those forklifts is way too small mass at the base to counter the forces at that height. And not enough training and supervision at that company. They should never allow those death traps anywhere and not allow to load a heavy, loose item(s) at that height.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. The company where worked for many years had one accident with that style of forklift and removed them all from the plant. One of the few safety actions they took that everyone agreed with.
