Toolbox Talk
Forklifts are an underrated hazard that exists in most food processing and manufacturing companies. The reason that we have specific regulations for forklift training and certification is that forklifts have caused more fatalities than all other mobile equipment combined. The reason for the complacency around forklifts is that they are compact and their rear-wheel steering […]
Toolbox Talk
Storage racking is only designed to support a specific rated capacity of load and certain design of pallets. Using the wrong pallet or exceeding the rated capacity can cause damage and possibly cause the storage racking to collapse.

Toolbox Talk
We lift, handle, and carry objects as part of work and our daily living. There is no legal threshold limiting what weight you can lift. At what point have you decided that lifting a specific item by yourself would NOT be a good idea? Have you ever been taught the right way to lift a load? Do you know the dos and don’ts for lifting?

This type of equipment normally operates within the boundaries of a workplace property and it is the responsibility of the employer to develop […]
Toolbox Talk
Both manual and electric pallet jacks have similar risks: workers can be injured if hands and feet get into the pinch point of the machine. However, electric pallet jacks have an electric propulsion system (aka self-propelled and motor-powered), which introduces new and different risks. Use this Toolbox Talk to discuss what hazards, risks, and preventative actions may be in place at your workplace to increase electric pallet jack safety.
Toolbox Talk
A pallet jack is the most basic form of forklift and is intended to move pallets in a warehouse or trailer setting. They can be either operated manually or electrically. You must be trained and authorized before you use a pallet jack.
