How to Idiot-Proof a forklift?

I would like feedback from the Forklift Techs from other states and countries concerning seat belt ignition lockouts and seat switches wired "in series" so the truck will not start unless belt is latched and if they lean over to far the seat switch will kill the engine. I have a customer who asked me if they were the only company who requires this set up and I had to tell Him most places have a seatbelt use rule but not a setup to stop the truck. DO any of you fellows out the run into these issues?
