Incident Investigation: Young Worker Run Over by Forklift | WorkSafeBC

This video slide show recreates an incident at a rebar manufacturing facility in British Columbia where a young worker was seriously injured after riding on the side of a forklift and falling off.

Riding as a passenger on a forklift is prohibited in most cases. It can expose workers to risks such as falling off, being struck by objects, or being crushed between the forklift and another object.

Using animation and photos from the site, this incident investigation slide show illustrates to employers and workers the dangers of riding as a passenger on a forklift. It reminds employers of the requirements to provide proper training to forklift operators, as well as adequate orientation and training to young or new workers.
