Step 1: Turn off all the spinny things before entering an area with a something with a hose/cord hanging off the back of it.

Step 2: If you didn't perform step 1, let go of the hose before you get sucked into the machinery.

I went in one of those automatic ones where the brushes are mounted on a gantry that moves back and forward . They kept their pressure washer in there and the hose got tangled in the chain that moved the gantry. I watched, helpless, as the pressure washer was slowly dragged into the mechanism until the 5m of hose brought the whole thing to a shuddering and shaking halt around me. I spent the next 20 mins trapped in my car, whilst I learnt an awful lot of Romania and Estonian swearwords.

The 20yo and half-broken carwash at the gas station I worked at over 10 years ago would automatically shut itself off for a variety of reasons, amongst them, if anything bumped a roller or scrubber. I'm legit surprised the carwash was still running with him that close or that it didn't stop the moment it felt any resistance.

That sounds like the kind of sensor that quickly 'breaks' and is 'fixed' by bypassing at the type of establishment that lets dudes drag hoses around spinning assemblies.

A great deal of the line equipment was OEM, as it was built like a tank and easy to repair & fab parts for it. It's a death trap.

Having caught a kerb or too at slow speeds, the speed that they would have been going would have hurt like a motherfucker smashing into the steering wheel. And nobody actually wears the fitted seat belts, if fitted at all.

E: ^^^^ Yeah, they do. Most of the trucks where I work have interlocked and bright orange seatbelts and the operators are forced to use them because it'd be obvious if there wasn't a bright orange belt across their lap. My truck's seatbelt isn't interlocked (the seat is instead) and is dark, and I won't comment on my usage of it. EE: We also have those stupid bright blue lights that put a spot on the ground for pedestrians to see oncoming. They work especially well when you have a pallet on the forks that's over 30" tall and wrapped in plastic. What's also great about them is pedestrians totally pay attention to them. Some people might recognize the following as a crop from the image I've shown around as my "office" at work. If you look at the circled area you can see where a forklift hit the post square between the forks at a blazing 11km/h.  They had to get an engineer in to tell them what to do about the post and ultimately just welded what you see onto it. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Oct 27, 2017 |

Also, if they are on the forklift, and you don't wear them, your employer can get hammered with an OSHA fine.

I am personally quite fond of the three panel comic Toyota helpfully provided on my ROPS as for what to do in the event of a tip over. I tried to find a copy of it online but failed.  It basically tells you to hold on and try to not die because a lap belt isn't gonna keep your head from meeting pavement.

Under previous ownership most of the fork truck operators wouldn't wear their seatbelts because they felt safer at the idea of being able to jump clear if the fork truck was going to go over. Now they wear them because they know if they don't they'll get fired.

Now they wear them because they know if they don't they'll get fired. This is such a retarded attitude. The normal reflex is to jump down and try to run away, which results in getting crushed or pinned, and even if you did have the presence of mind to try and climb up as it fell it's more likely you'd slip and get crushed or pinned anyway.
