FOR SUPERVISORS
Lift
truck
accidents
cause
dozens
or
hundreds
of
deaths
every
year,
and
even
greater
numbers
of
personal
injuries.
TCM
has
steadily
improved
the
design
and
fabrication
of
our
lift
trucks
so
they
may
be
used
more
safely
and
efficiently,
but
many
accidents
still
occur
due
to
improper
use.
Accidents
are
often
the
result
of
more
than
just
"bad
driving".
The
use
of
inappropriate
types
of
equipment,
the
selection
of
inappropriate
attachments
or
accessories,
inappropriate
operating
environments,
careless
designation
of
operators,
and
failure
to
properly
train
the
operator
are
other
common
causes
of
accidents.
This
chapter
covers
the
methods
of
accident
prevention
which
are
primarily
the
responsibility
of
supervisory
personnel.
