Employers have a primary duty under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1991 to provide a safe workplace.
Providing a safe work environment, training, well-maintained machinery and effective traffic management plans all play an important part in reducing the risks posed by forklifts in the workplace.
All employees, including managers and supervisors, have a duty to ensure the actions they take, or neglect to take, do not put themselves or others at risk.
