Hello All,

I've just read Christines Liew's Special Feature titled:
'Forklifts face cold, harsh reality' and am interested in the responsibilities of the manufactuer, the forklift distributor, the service contractor and the owner/operator in protecting the drivers from associated carbon monoxide incidents.

Specifically, should the manufacturers have Warning Lables on the equipment to alert operators to the dangers of CO posioning? Or is this the responsibility of the distributor or the service technicial or the owner?

Any comments would be appreciated.
