Editor's Notes
- Welcome to the Importance of Safety and Safety Training presentation. This presentation is to help arm you with safety facts and the value of safety training.
- Let’s get started with a quiz. How many employees are injured every year in the U.S. while operating forklifts?
- The answer is Safety Fact #1 - 95,000. According to OSHA, more than 95,000 employees are injured every year in the United States while operating a lift truck. This is in all industries. Forklift overturns account for a significant percentage of fatal accidents.
- Safety Fact #2. According to OSHA, about 100 employees are killed every year while operating forklifts. This is also in all industries. This OSHA Pocket Guide can be found on the OSHA website, at www.osha.gov/Publications/warehousing.html This booklet provides a general overview on Worker Safety in Warehousing.
- Most fatalities occur when a worker is crushed by a forklift that has overturned or fallen from a loading dock.
- In a report from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), forklifts strike pedestrians every day, resulting in 100 deaths and over 20,000 injuries annually in the U.S. alone. Approximately every 3 days, someone in the U.S. is killed in a forklift related accident.
- This is a powerful statistic and emphazises the importance of safety training.
- OSHA requires that all companies provide their forklift and other lift truck operators with proper safety training. Since 1999, OSHA has made a point of fining companies for willful violations of this rule and all other safety violations pertaining to mechanical lift trucks. As a matter of fact, , powered industrial trucks ranks 8th in the top 10 citations issued by OSHA. These fines will cost a company between $7,000 and $70,000 per willful violation and can be imposed any time an OSHA compliance officer sees that a safety issue presents a threat to a company’s employees.
- In order for a company to minimize accidents, reduce or eliminate injuries, as well as to protect itself from OSHA fines and citations, they must: Train operators. Forklift safety training must also be provided to pedestrians.
- There are six main reasons why you need to protect your business with Forklift Safety Training: Reduction of: Injury or death to employees Loss of Valuable Resources OSHA fines Liabilities High Insurance Costs High Maintenance Costs
- We’d like to encourage you to establish a Voluntary Protection Program. The Voluntary Protection Programs through OSHA are set up to recognize employers who have implemented a comprehensive safety and health management system and have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health. This is one of the most successful recognition programs in safety today. For more information on becoming a VPP member, contact OSHA's Office of Partnerships and Recognition at (202) 693-2213 or the VPP Manager at your OSHA Regional Office .
- The National Safety Council (NSC) is a nonprofit, public service organization dedicated to protecting life and promoting health. The National Safety Council’s network of 40 local Chapters conduct safety, health and environmental efforts at the community level, providing training, conferences, workshops, consultation, newsletters, updates and safety support materials, as well as networking avenues. Consider becoming a member and getting involved at the community level. We encourage you to join. Go to the National Safety Council website, www.nsc.org to find out more.
- Many of you have heard of the B56.1 safety rating. This information was developed by the Industrial Trucks Standards Development Foundation. Better known as ITSDF. ITSDF is the registered trademark of Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation. ITSDF B56.1 is the safety standard for low lift and high lift trucks. This Standard defines the safety requirements relating to the elements of design, operation, and maintenance of low lift and high lift powered industrial trucks controlled by a riding or walking operator, and intended for use on compacted, improved surfaces. The purpose of the Standard is to promote safety through the design, construction, application, operation, and maintenance of low lift and high lift powered industrial trucks. Part II of the standards is for the user and provides information on general safety, operating safety and maintenance practices. For more information go to the ITSDF website at www.itsdf.org.
- The Toyota brand, although vindicated by NASA’s findings, has been tarnished by recent misperceptions about Toyota quality and safety. It’s an especially relevant time to demonstrate Toyota’s safety leadership in the material handling arena.
- Let’s talk about several facts that make Toyota a leader in safety. Toyota Industrial Equipment is the industry safety leader due in large part to the System of Active Stability introduced in 1999. This Toyota exclusive system remains the industry leading safety technology after all these years. It has prevented numerous deaths and injuries over the past 12 years.
- Toyota’s System of Active Stability is included as standard equipment on some Toyota lift trucks. There is no Additional Cost for this State-of-the-Art Safety Enhancement. Maintenance of SAS in the field is equally cost effective. The average annual retail cost of parts & labor for maintenance of S AS and related components is less than $17.00 per truck. Plus there is the added savings from reduced product damage due to SAS’ Active Mast Control function and the increased productivity associated with SAS.
- The information on this slide and next couple is from a SAS brochure. The advanced safety protection provided by SAS technology has undoubtedly saved lives and reduced the number of catastrophic injuries due to the prevention of lateral overturns that would have happened without SAS. The reduction in OSHA reported fatalities and injuries, while due in part to the implementation of mandatory operator training requirements by OSHA, directly correlates to the increase in the Toyota SAS lift truck field population. Toyota’s SAS population of lift trucks have increased over the years and industry fatalities have decreased.
- Following the introduction of SAS, overturn fatalities per lift truck in the United States have decreased by 58.5% between 1999 and 2006.
- As Toyota’s SAS field population has increased, industry injuries have decreased. Even more suggestive is the 45.9% reduction in overturn, collision, loss of control and falls from a lift truck.
- The first safety study conducted earlier this year by Peerless Media Research revealed Toyota as the safest lift trucks. 19% of respondents rated Toyota lift trucks as the safest, compared to other brands.
- In the same study, by Peerless Media Research, 18% of respondents rated Toyota lift trucks as having the fewest safety related incidents, compared to other brands.
- The same study by Peerless Media, revealed that 20% of the respondents rated Toyota lift trucks being the most affordable to maintain in terms of safety, compared to other brands.
- It’s easy to see what makes Toyota a leader in safety and truly differentiates Toyota from the competition.
- Let’s see how many of you were paying attention. The first person to type in the correct answer will win a special prize.
- The answer is #3 – 58.5%
- This year Toyota launched the Safety Leadership campaign. This is the new ad, with the headline “Stability in an Unstable World.” The ad highlights Toyota’s leadership, by depicting the hazards of a warehouse and describes the stability offered by SAS.
- We also offer the Operator Safety Training Military Discount Program, “Giving Veterans a Lift”. This is a great program to help America’s military heroes find employment. It offers $100 off Operator Safety Training.
- For more information on safety, please visit our website or ask us for more information. On toyotaforklift.com, we have a section dedicated to Safety. We reference SAS and the results of the Peerless Media Research Group Safety Study. In the News section of the site, we have a link to the April 7, 2011 Press Release, announcing the results of the safety study. We have the Safety Focus in the About Us and Products sections of the site, where there is information about Toyota’s spotlight on Safety and SAS.
- Okay. Let’s open it up for questions. Thank you!
