Industry News » Cutting Corners Can Cost Lives When it Coes to Fork Lift Truck Safety

22-05-2009

In a recent article David Ellison, the Fork Lift Truck Association Chief Executive warned companies that cutting corners when times are hard can cost lives.

"When times are hard and cash flow is poor, cutting corners becomes very tempting even bosses who once prided themselves on running a tight ship might try and shave a little bit here and there from what they know as good practice."

After all, the real price of a safety lapse is much worse than any savings made.

This is especially true for the pre-shift checks of your fork lift trucks.

Cutting back on these essential inspections could lead to maintenance issues going unnoticed, making any problems worse and more expensive to fix.  With these important and necessary pre-shift fork lift truck inspections costing mere pennies per day, it doesn't make sense to put the safety of your staff in jeopardy.
