There are over 1 million forklifts in operation in the United States with an estimated 2 million operators (6 million including part time operators) [Chugh] and nearly 2 000 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in use in the US. Forklifts are a necessary piece of material handling equipment for many industries. If used properly, they can reduce employee injuries. Unfortunately, they can also pose some safety risks to drivers, pedestrians, and other equipment and goods. This White Paper summarizes presentations and discussions from the PerMIS 2009 Special Session on "Performance Measurements to Improve Forklift Safety." Papers presented during this special session are listed in the references section. |
