Forklift safety is big industry concern for OSHA (The Occupational Safety and Health Administration), the governmental arm responsible for ensuring workplace safety for American workers. One of the reasons is that so many industries and businesses, even small ones, use forklifts, or “powered industrial trucks,” on the job.

Because there is so much potential for accident/injury on and around forklifts (OSHA estimates tens of thousands forklift injuries occur every year on the job), OSHA, its cooperative industry partners, and other workplace safety specialists, have produced a number of resources to help employers make sure that their forklifts are operated in a safe and secure manner.
