Hi All,

I am in a back and forth with Supervisors on the use of Bluetooth speakers on forklifts.
These are not closed cab lifts, they are all sit-down lifts , electric and propane.

Obviously I do not see the need fro operators to listen to music, only the opportunity for distracted driving. I want the employees to enjoy work, but then again this is not a trip to Zaxby's.

Have any of you experienced this same issue and if so what was the outcome?

The argument is that our assembly area is able to have Bluetooth speakers...why can't the drivers. >.<
