Hi,
I'm Sorry to report the death of an 18yr old here in Brisbane, who allegedly used a forklift without a licence or training. (hearsay)
I must say that investigations are ongoing so I won't speculate any further about the causes etc.
What I must say is that the investigators are there trying to find out the reasons behind such a tragic accident.
My question is this, how many times have investigators/ inspectors been to your factory, warehouse without invitation just to check up on unlicensed untrained drivers etc.

I think if there were more unexpected visits by inspectors they may cut down on the incident rate.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
