You are right on the right track & I am in agreement with you!
What every safety officer needs is a contact address where he or she can go to get correct advice on all aspects of forklift safety.
The cold hard facts are that the majority of safety officers have little or no knowledge on forklift matters.
One has only to read these columns to see that a lot of people are putting up their hand to offer bad advice & opinions.
It is time to establish an international safety consultancy to provide who ever with sound safety advice re. forklifts.
I have proposed such a body in these columns under the flag our host site but have had no takers.
Naturally it would have to be a structured organisation with the appropriate insurances.
Do you know a rich, caring & sympathetic benefactor?
We both agree on the need!
