Hello, I have one question, recently there's been an accident in one of ours sister companies (pure neglect) and our companies safety office, made a prevention by altering Back rest frame making it wide as a pallet so that way they can prevent drivers to lift and lower the forks while inside drive in racking. I'm all for safety myself but, by altering that backload frame they made our life miserable, because now the frame is too wide and we have troubles when loading and moving around in small cramped areas, not to mention the damages on trucks, pallets, etc. Please can anybody shed some light on this situation if that alteration is ok according to safety measures etc. Thank you in advance.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
