Google: CCOHS WORK INJURY STATISTICS. This will give you a brief overview of the Canadian National Work Injuries Statistics Program (NWISP) which is now issued by the Association of Workers Compensation Boards of Canada (AWCBC). I have not seen this report as it is not freely available and the hard copy cost is quite steep ($150.00) and the minimum charge for computer query is ($75.00).

The latest NWISP report should be available for free review at your Novia Scotia Workers' Compensation Board (WCB). The WCB should also be able to provide you with statistics specific to your Province of Nova Scotia.

The NWISP report may also be available through your local library through the inter-library loan program if a copy is in the library system.

Previous reports which were put out by Statistics Canada prior to March 1996 are freely available but I find their information lacking for forklift related data.

Google: CCOHS SEARCH FATALITY REPORTS DATABASE. This will provide you access to Canadian forklift fatality reports which you might find useful.

On the query page, in the box after Subject equals type in forklift. Leave all other boxes blank. Change the Return from 10 to all. Hit start search.

CCOHS is the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety and it also has forklift truck safety information available. GOOGLE: CCOHS FORKLIFT TRUCKS.
