If you have come to our website to find diesel lift trucks in and around East Lothian then we would like to give you some tips.
If you are researching diesel lift trucks in and around East Lothian you may wish to know that a business was fined over £50,000 when an employee was crushed to death. A forklift driver had performed an emergency stop while going round a corner in order to avoid hitting another member of staff. However the sudden braking caused the goods being carried to fall off and pin the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.
While investigating diesel lift trucks in and around East Lothian you might wish to be aware that a forklift driver also has a legal duty to ensure the safety of others. In one case a forklift driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 plus costs after an incident in which he hit a fellow employee causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. The driver''s vision was impaired by the load he was carrying. In this case the employer had employed an in-house forklift truck trainer and the driver had received regular refresher training and re-testing and as a result it was the employee not the employer that was fined for this incident.
Whilst looking for diesel lift trucks in and around East Lothian remember that two of the most important safety aspects are vehicle stability and control of the load. Statistics prove that machine tip-over's and falling loads are the two biggest causes of accidents and injuries.
While you are looking at diesel lift trucks in and around East Lothian you should note that there may be tax advantages to be gained from leasing or hiring your forklift instead of buying it outright. Make sure you consult with your accountant before making a purchase.
