Forklifts safety at the workplace – Install reverse camera system

Safety in the workplace is consistently discussed to ensure the staff are working in a conducive environment.  However, material handling industry is prone to devastating accidents almost every day.  Doorways, corners, and limited visibility are some of the major challenges that operators and pedestrians face.  We can refer to these challenges as blind spots that the forklift operators face.

Similar to the normal roads, pedestrians have a right of way no matter what the circumstance is.  Drivers should respect this truth both on our normal roads and in the industries to minimize the deaths of pedestrians.  The forklift operators are expected to be well knowledgeable in operating the forklift around the warehouse.  They should always keep their vision focused in the direction they are moving to whether forward or backward.

They should always stay observant of any pedestrian to avoid causing avoidable accidents.  The warehouse should have clear markings as well as train all their staff about their own safety.  But even as all this is done, the forklift operator has left on his own to mind the safety of every other pedestrian.

With constant head checks, these operators are subjected to craning their necks the entire day to ensure safety is exercised.  The result is constant head and neck pains that soon become a part of their everyday problems that they have to deal with.

We can save the rest of the forklift operators by installing reverse camera systems that allow them to see all the blind spots from the comfort of their driver’s seat.  They don’t have to crane their necks anymore yet they work twice as hard.

Both the pedestrians and the operators enjoy the safe environment with accidents risk being zero-rated.  For a healthy workplace and happy workers, call us at Reverse Safe and we will install these reverse cameras on all your forklifts from the comfort of your warehouse.
