How to avoid foot crushing accidents with manual forklifts
There are many issues that need to be noted when using manual forklifts to transport goods, which is a prerequisite for ensuring safe handling operations. Many accidents occur unconsciously. Today, we will introduce a typical safety accident involving manual forklift operations.
Many times, manual forklifts require personnel to assist in pulling large goods during operation, which can greatly reduce the operator's fatigue. However, when the goods are transported to a fixed position, the operator generally presses the pressure relief valve without any observation to drop the pallet and the goods to the ground. This operation poses a safety hazard because the assisting personnel may inadvertently insert their feet under the pallet, which can cause serious pressure injuries.
There are many such accidents, and both parties are responsible for them. After reaching the designated point, the helper's feet should immediately stay away from the manual forklift, while as the operator, it is necessary to observe the ground situation first to ensure that there is no danger before unloading. This is the only way to prevent such accidents from happening.
