According to OSHA, workplace violence is on the rise. When that happens, anything and everything around them can be used against another individual. We can’t protect everything, but somethings like a forklift we can. This is where forklift access control comes in. This will eliminate forklifts being used as a weapon. Let’s take a further look.
- If you don’t have authorized access to operate the forklift, the forklift will not start. Regardless of how hard you try, it will not start.
- An authorized forklift operator needs to enter in their 4 digit code or scan their QR code in order to gain entry to the forklift. However, it still will not start unless the forklift inspection checklist is done and the forklift passes inspection.
- If an impact is made during driving, a picture of the driver will be taken (optional) and the G force of the impact will be recorded. It will also give a warning that you have X seconds to pull over before the forklift automatically shuts down.
These are great ways to ensure that the forklifts being used as a weapon will never happen. Next, contact SIERA AI to learn more about our forklift safety system.
