Hyster Co. has developed two new safety posters, both included with the company’s operator training program available through Hyster dealers. The “Forklift Safety Tips” and “Pedestrian Safety Tips” posters spotlight best safety practices for forklift operators as well as those working around them.
Available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, the posters are designed to be hung in materials-handling facilities, offering a visual representation of the “dos” and “don’ts” of safely operating a forklift, and valuable tips for pedestrians interacting in environments where forklifts are in operation.
“We consider safety and the proper training of forklift operators and pedestrians as a paramount part to the successful implementation of our equipment in the workplace,” said Jay Costello, director of dealer marketing for Hyster. “Reducing accidents and injury rates is a priority for us, our customers and our industry. But no matter how safe and reliable we make our materials handling equipment, there is no replacement for a trained, attentive operator, and just as importantly, trained pedestrians.”
