Just off the top of my head, it is the operator who is at fault, for 2 reasons. 1)The operator failed to secure the load prior to moving the table. 2) 3m clearance zone around any raised load. No pedestrian should be standing within this 3m area. The operator should have made sure of this prior to moving the table.

If the operator was not trained, and therefore not authorized to use the forklift, then the company is at fault for failing to train the operator, and not disabling the forklift (removal of key) so no unauthorized person can drive it. In basic terms, failing to provide safety for the employee aka protection for workers.

How, where and why the forklift is to be operated is what I teach in my classes, and these are full day courses. Too much info to type here.

Story is...train your staff, and you should attend as well. Maybe one of the officers of the company should attend the course as well.

As a side note, winter will soon be here in Canada, a time of year that I do not particularly care for. A trip to Australia would be welcome. Pay my fee, and expenses, and I shall be there lickety-split (Lol)
