Modernizing industry workplace safety

Generally speaking, workplace safety has come a long way over the years. Largely by learning the hard way, through post-event analysis and reporting that leads to safety practice reform and improvements. Experience is a hard but effective teacher—as one safety body puts it, “Why let a good accident go to waste?”

But workplace safety also still has some way to go, especially in industrial settings. Statistics show forklifts account for only 1% of all warehouse or factory accidents in the US, but that the accidents tend to be more serious, accounting for 11% of all physical injuries. And that while rates continue to improve in ports and cargo handling environments, the accidents that do occur often involve vehicles and lead to nearly 35% of days lost to injury.
