As we just stated in a previous post with record breaking labor laws, there are operational costs associated for companies when it comes to regulatory compliance. We do agree that most of the regulatory actions, when created properly, do help those working in facilities. But the costs for those companies that do follow the rules, invest in safety and try to be as proactive as possible, keeps climbing. In addition, it keeps adding to the plates of the safety professionals to the point that the constant addition of regulations makes it difficult, or challenging to keep up. Should there be deregulation of OSHA on forklift safety?

Instead of making the argument for or against deregulation of OSHA, an AI based forklift safety system by SIERA AI can do both. For instance, it is mandatory that the forklift checklist gets completed, as it is an OSHA mandate. The way it was done, and many times continues to be done today, is with a clipboard and a piece of paper, asking the same questions every day for weeks and years. The paper is put into a binder and shown to the compliance representative, and they will say ‘yup, it’s done.’ But is there any value? The answer is some.

With a forklift safety system, you have the option of randomizing the questions in each section to ensure you are getting the best answers possible. These answers are digitally collected and put into a way that allows you to analyze the data quickly and make great safety and maintenance decisions. Does deregulation of OSHA on forklift safety make sense? You’ll need to decide. Contact us today.
