It shouldn’t come as any surprise that a forklift is a dangerous piece of machinery. There are some pretty grim accident statistics to back up that notion. In reality, forklifts account for only 1% of all warehouse or factory accidents. But the accidents tend to be more serious than others, accounting for 10% of all physical injuries in those workplaces. Below are the accident statistics in US that should cause you to exercise extreme caution when operating a forklift:
Forklifts account for around 85 deaths every year – a 28% Increase since 2011.
Approximately 11% of forklifts in the United States will be involved in an accident each year. Meaning if your facility has 10 or more – something is going to happen this year.
Non-serious injuries related to forklift accidents reach 61,800 each year.
A forklift overturning is the most common incident, accounting for 24% of all forklift accidents.
Forklift accidents that result in serious injury total 34,900 annually.
On average 95 people are seriously injured in a forklift accident every day and 1 person is killed in a forklift accident every 4 days in the United States alone.
