On June 27, Liu, a forklift driver at a glass company in Qingdao, He was driving a forklift truck as usual to transfer glass products, but on the way was injured in a collision with Wang, a warehouse keeper at the same factory. Wang was later sent to hospital for treatment, but eventually died. Later, the factory negotiated with the family of the deceased to compensate 1.3 million yuan, and Liu also paid more than 100,000 yuan, and was understood by the family of the deceased.
However, Liu felt very strange about the accident, he told reporters that the speed limit within the plant is 5 kilometers, and the forklift is equipped with glass products, the speed is very slow, the height of the glass products did not block the view, but suddenly felt the wheel pressed over something, a look is a person.
According to the operation requirements, the forklift should be equipped with warning lights and there should be personnel around the forklift to direct the operation, but these were not available at the time of the accident. The road inside the factory is narrow and there are no sidewalks or warning signs.
Many safety organizations have called on the field car should be equipped with a clear sound warning device and rearview mirror, to play the role of driving reminder, reversing warning, pallet stacker and forward forklift truck also need such devices.
If it is a noisy environment, it is necessary to install security regional safety lights for forklift trucks
Forklift safety lights are available in a variety of types, such as one-line lights, arrow lights and arc lights. With the installation of safety lights for forklift trucks, a highly recognizable warning area can be built around the forklift trucks, just like a movable "warning line" and dynamic warning circle around forklift trucks.
This is a relatively low cost, easy to install security option. Especially in the very noisy working environment, the striking visible light beam warning effect is more obvious than the sound warning, so that the operation of forklift truck is safer.
The forklift is equipped with warning devices to actively remind pedestrians and vehicles visually and audially that a forklift is approaching, and it is necessary to avoid collision danger in time, so as to improve the safety of the working environment of the factory forklift.
