The Community of Madrid has analysed the main causes of occupational accidents in the industrial sector, identifying the risks associated with the use of forklifts trucks and operations that influences safety in warehouses. The most frequent incidents include:
- Partial or total fall of the load, with risk of injury.
- Entrapments or impacts against structures, machinery and other vehicles, especially concerning the fork frame, draw-bar or wheels.
- Loss of balance and falls of operators on moving pallet trucks.
- Collisions with other vehicles in shared traffic areas.
- Impacts against racks and equipment due to lack of visibility and working in confined spaces.
- Falls on loading bays due to differences in level or incorrect use of the truck tailgate as a gangway.
Are current preventive security measures sufficient?
Conventional solutions proposed by the Community of Madrid, such as brakes on pallet trucks and acoustic signals, help to mitigate risks, but are they really effective in reducing accidents in industrial environments?
