I just noticed as we are adding some detail to the Events Calendar, that the FLT Association (UK) at their conference at Warwick Uni on 22 September has a discussion topic... quote..."Reversing Safety...In their recent survey on Common Accidents on Lift Trucks the HSE identified that 47% of accidents concerned people being struck by moving trucks. Some 523 serious accidents have been investigated in this category, including 15 fatalities. 80% of these accidents involved counterbalance trucks with reversing being a significant factor. Brigade Electronics will review the issues relating to reversing accidents and provide an insight into the ways in which the risks can be minimised...." so it will be interesting to hear about that down the track.

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.
