Joe -
I believe I have a an extra copy from the World Safety Congress. If you send me your mailing info at the email address in the signature line, I will be happy to share what information I have with you.

I am not sure why you could not get any help. At the WSC they gave out a CD with Injury / Illness Statistics, and the National Safety Council sends them out every year. It takes a while to compile the data. The one I received in 2006 was for 2004 I believe. They (the NSC) are a great information source.

It would be nice to see an overall study of lift accident reduction figures nationwide due to quality training and enforcement. If you talk with your clients where you have done any type of safety training, not just Forklift Training, they will be the first to tell you of the positive impact and reduction in WC Claims and accidents / injuries they have seen as a result of safety awareness and education.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
