All the forklift drivers I have seen drive them around super fast like F1 cars and that spooks me.

That's not the scary part, the scary part is the poo poo they do when they're carrying a 500-kilo load.

None of the forklift drivers in our warehouse ever, you know, secure the area when they're lifting those twenty feet in the air, like they're meant to. So there's plenty of potential for some passer-by being crushed if they gently caress up the load or something drops off the side of the pallet as they're moving it off the rack.

For three years now we've also had a forklift operator who doesn't have a loving license and our workplace safety rep doesn't give a poo poo.

This is my second year anonymously tipping off our local OSHA-equivalent, let's see if it gets us a surprise inspection this time.

He didn't get crushed, as some believe.

Re: Forklift chat.

My company does service work at a massive automotive manufacturing plant. The first time I walked through the facility with my superintendent, I noticed that there were a fuckton of forklifts zooming by in every direction, and while they honked horns at intersections, they only sortof slowed down before zipping along. I told him that it seemed like the biggest hazard for our guys was all of the plant forklifts. He agreed. Apparently, as part of the car company building the plant, they were required to hire whatever random locals who applied and could pass a drug test, whether they had the skills, training, or certification was negligible. They would go from working at convenience stores one day to running big rear end forklifts the next with very little classroom or OTJ training. Surprise surprise, they run in to poo poo constantly. Any other plant/project I've worked at, if a forklift/lull driver hits something due to negligence, they're done. At this place, its a 3 strikes rule because it happens so loving much. No wonder they're 500 vehicles behind on production.

By the way, one of my projects is a block away from the famous 11'8. I drove under it the day before it closed earlier this week. I tried not to get emotional.

MOORESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) � A man died in an accident at a food processing plant in Mooresville on Tuesday morning.

Sean Merrell, 22, of Mooresville, was identified as the victim in an autopsy, Morgan County Coroner Annette Butcher said Friday night.

According to the Mooresville Police Department, crews responded to an industrial accident with major injuries about 6:45 a.m. Tuesday at the PacMoore Process Technologies plant. That�s at State Road 67 and Old State Road 67 North.

The coroner said Merrell died of blunt force trauma to his head, chest and abdomen after getting trapped in a machine he was cleaned. The machine began re-energizing before Merrell exited it, the coroner said.

Butcher called the accident �tragic� and offered prayers to his family and the PacMoore employees.

Butcher said she delayed the identification of Merrell to give the family and business �more time.�

I�m establishing my own certification company and forklifts are one of the first ones being put out. A lot of �certification� only requires a short online class, so we�re aiming to actually have a difficult written and practical exam to prove that anyone with our cert really knows what they�re doing.

That's basically how my warehouse works. It's a little stricter now (you usually have to work for us for at least a month or two before they'll put you on a lift), but it used to be "can you drive a car? Here's a lift." Or, in my case, "Wait, you're too young to have a license? Eh, you can learn how to handle a forklift first."

It only changed when one of our upper management was giving a tour to some potential customers, almost got run over by a guy not looking, and then found out he didn't have his forklift safety cert. A very large shitfit was had. And yet, nobody got fired, and two years later we're back to barely caring.

Thats all well and good there that you want to turn out competent operators, but how in the name of gently caress does that help the ECONOMY?
How can people get jobs if there are actual standards that they have to meet in order to operate something that can seriously gently caress poo poo up if mishandled?
