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.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Bill
