Reduce the risk of foot injury
Some pallet jacks are capable of carrying 4400lbs (2000kg) and this weight creates a risk of injury. The majority pallet jacks, electric or manual, require the operator to walk along with them, and many operators will be lifting goods on and off the forks.
With non-powered pallet jacks, complete control over the movement must be supplied by the operator.
The operator must keep control of the pallet jack at all times and be especially cautious on ramps and slopes.
OSHA reports that from 2002-2016 a total of 56 major injuries occurred involving pallet jacks.
So what can you do?
In addition to keeping your pallet jack in good condition, and observing all safety rules, you can protect your feet with a toe guard.
