Using a Forklift Safety System Data to Reinforce Your Safety Culture

The connectivity of forklift trucks to enable forklift safety system data is a full and comprehensive approach to forklift safety management. By monitoring, collecting and analyzing the forklift safety system data, you’ll gain critical insights where you can compare facilities, manufacturers, forklifts and more. This comparison will allow you to further understand where efficiencies can be had and productivity can be gained. Let’s take a look further.

What is Forklift Safety System Data?

Let’s begin with a forklift safety system. There are various types of forklift safety systems. Some are with guides or tape on the floor. SIERA.AI uses AI machine learning technology, an autonomous forklift safety systemin order to reach any part of the facility…including the far-reaching corners. Forklift safety system data is the information that the technology or AI machine learning identifies as a warning or a threat and captures that information and stores it in an online Dashboard for further analysis.

Types of Data Captured

For simplicity, we’ll discuss the four most desired data that most safety managers and facility managers want to analyze and even share with the forklift operators and workers. This includes:

• Forklift Inspections
• OSHA compliance
• Near Misses
• Forklift Impacts

Forklift Inspections

Forklift inspections are essential to keeping the forklifts healthy, minimize the amount of breakdowns and help maintenance manage their life expectancy. As most companies have forklift inspections already in place as it is on paper, Once the forklift inspections are digitized, then data can be collected easily. In addition, the digital forklift inspection gives the flexibility to add, delete, modify questions and answers that you want to collect.

Now you’ll know the answers, along with which forklifts continue to pass inspection, and which forklifts are setting a pattern for failures and on which questions and answers.

OSHA Compliance

OSHA compliance is straight forward. If an OSHA inspector comes in, which would you rather do. Would you rather give the auditor a pile of paper, binders or PDF files, or a print out report that took you 10 second to set the date range and press print?

Yeah, like all customers of SIERA.AI Dashboard telemetry system, the backend of the S2 and S3 forklift safety solutions, they’d rather show how they have control of their forklift safety with a 30 second generated report.

Forklift Near Misses

Near misses are such an important part of data collection. It tells you where forklift drivers are slamming their brakes, or jarring the forklift. By collecting this data, you will be able to change the course of forklift accidents from one of a building problem to stopping a forklift accident from even occurring. That’s the power of forklift safety system data.

Forklift Impacts

Once near misses begin to mature, now they’ll be in the low, medium or high impact category. These are actual impacts of various strengths. How do you want to be notified of impacts. What can the data tell you? Maybe it’s a who? Is there a particular forklift operator that has numerous impacts? Is it the individual or is it a frequent route the operator takes that’s the cause.

Summary

Being able to track the various data will provide the insights needed to make improvements in the facility. Just as critical is to share this data with the forklift operators and workers so they can get a better understanding as to how the data helps reinforce the meaning of safety in the facility.
