[Case Study] "Close Call!" in Forklift Operations
Have you ever experienced a "close call" while working with forklifts or similar equipment? Safety measures.
In the raw materials and products warehousing and logistics department, measures to prevent the falling of transported items when using forklifts were being discussed. There is a possibility of sudden braking or sharp turning to avoid accidents, which could pose a danger to workers and those nearby due to the collapse of transported items. Therefore, safety measures were necessary. Furthermore, such collapses can lead to losses of raw materials and products. Issues: 1. Since switching from wooden pallets to resin and metal pallets, the risk has increased significantly, especially as the pallets have become more slippery (the danger increases particularly in rainy conditions). 2. When sudden braking occurs, metal pallets can slip, causing items to fall from the forks and potentially leading to accidents. 3. In the case of sharp turns, balance can be lost, increasing the likelihood of items falling or mistakes in steering. 4. As a countermeasure, anti-slip rubber mats with magnets are being used, but there are issues as outlined below.
