New Solutions at Work: Forklift Perimeter Lights

What is it? Solutions-at-Work or “SAW” are individual ideas where a Member of the Mutual looked at an existing hazard and, through their employee’s years of experience, knowledge, or creativity, developed a Solution to the problem that eliminated or reduced the hazard to employees and the chance of injury.

Please see below for information on these new Solutions at Work:

To improve safety in areas where powered industrial trucks are operated, installing forklift lights—such as blue or red safety spotlights—reduces risks associated with mobile equipment traffic. These lights project visible warnings on the ground, alerting workers to approaching forklifts and reducing the risk of collisions and struck-by incidents.

If you have similar operations, please share this Operational Alert with operation managers, supervisors, equipment operators, and all affected employees. It is imperative that management, at all levels, review their operations for similar hazardous conditions, acts, and controls.
