Work to Zero Forklift Accidents

The NSC has got a new initiative out for safety professionals, and it is the Work to Zero. The initiative is taking a look at ways that technology can save lives in the workplace. We certainly would like to add not just lives, but also injuries. We’re going to amend this a bit an narrow it down to work to zero forklift accidents, obviously with a focus on forklift incidents. NSC discusses the work to zero in 5 steps, and it is as follows:

1. Assess the risk. We believe assessing your risk for forklifts remains important. Taking a look at your worker’s compensation and other reports may be better than looking at the paper based forklift inspections.
2. Identify the Tech Solution. When it comes to forklift safety, there is no other solution needed than the SIERA AI forklift safety system. This can include impact detection along with the digital inspection and forklift access control, or you can add on the forklift pedestrian detection and object detection system. All the data is captured in real time into our telemetry Dashboard where you can make actionable decisions for safety.
3. Determine Readiness of your Department or Facility. Honestly, we never are ready, are we? It means extra work. However, with our forklift safety system, it’ll be minimal and you’ll start receiving the benefits in as fast as 45 minutes, which is what it takes to install on any make and model forklift.
4. Develop the Business Case. We give you what to look at so you can quickly know how much you will save. When you get our presentation, you will know exactly what are the three ‘bucket’ of savings, know where where to look and what to show management in terms of cost savings. It’s a fast ROI that with most of our customers, it occurred within the first year.

Roadmap to Success. Our digital checklist doesn’t stop there. You can place whatever checklist on your forklift safety system including docks, and fire extinguishers to name a couple. What do you want checked and tracked with our telemetry Dashboard.

Tracking the Work to Zero Forklift Accidents

We would add one more element to the NSC Work to Zero and that is the telemetry Dashboard. This is where the magic really happens. It tracks the near misses, pass/fail for forklift inspections, identifies hot spots within the facility which are all means to reducing incidents, injuries, damages and death, while making money and improving efficiencies at the same time. The Work to Zero forklift accidents is certainly doable with a little risk mitigation tweaking.  

The risk mitigation is where you can use our GPS and hotspot reports together to pinpoint where accidents are occurring most and taking action to change elements within that particular area. By doing so, you can watch the changes happen in real time and know if you ‘hit’ the right area or do you need to try something else. When you find the area, you’ll begin to see your numbers decrease.
