I believe everyone has missed the real issue, these are human issue's that can't be fixed with a program, training, shock system, etc...

The fix needs to be driven from senior management, ask yourself this when was the last person fired for not stopping, or pedistrian walks in a forklift aisle? Most corporations try fixing the problem by software or operator code system $$$$$$, none of which help if management doe's nothing with it.

The are so many factor to a safe program, rotation of the fleet, right type of fleet, the right training, operators and management, the product flow, facility design, maintenance of the fleet. etc.... good luck don't waste your money on these's system with out doing your homework first

Ask yourself this are you going to track this information? Is your company prepared to hire staff for this? Doe's your company have a WMS if so who looks at the data and how often? Do you feel your operators won't lie on the checklist or give out thier code to their buddy? HUMAN ISSUE"S , Lifelead international is a good leadership company. There are others if needed.
