Who is responsible for safety? It's an intriguing question partially answered by an American jury hearing a case into a forklift-related death. Is it up to the driver to ensure his or her own safety, is it the employer's role - or possibly the equipment retailer or manufacturer? This court case determined that the buck stops with the boss and that it's the employer's role to provide adequate training. Of course, the notion of adequate training opens another can of worms, but that's something to be discussed another time.
