Recently we have had a flood of accidents involving people not looking for lift trucks before they enter an aisle and getting hit. (Prior to this, we have not had an accident like this in 10 years plus.)

Background information: Our lift trucks are electric (very quiet) and in some areas it is very noisy due to our metal stamping operation.

We are now looking at devices like strobes, beepers, backup alarms, etc. to alert employees The remark is that employees will get immune to these devices or they will drive the material handlers "crazy" listening to the beepers all day.

What do you suggest?

Fact of the week
The dot-com bubble, a period of large and rapid investments in internet-based companies, peaked in 2000 and saw the Nasdaq Composite index rise by 579%. Then the bubble imploded. As the value of tech stocks plummeted, cash-strapped internet start-ups became worthless and collapsed.
