SUGGESSTION AND RECOMMENDATION
According to Bostelman (n.d), OSHA estimates that there are 110,000 accidents each year and $135 000 000 immediate costs are incurred due to forklift accidents. This is happened in Toyata branch in US. There are over 1 million forklifts in operation in the United States with an estimated 2 million operators (6 million including part time operators) and nearly 2 000 automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in use in the US. Forklifts are a necessary piece of material handling equipment for many industries. If used properly, they can reduce employee injuries. Unfortunately, they can also pose some safety risks to drivers, pedestrians, and other equipment and goods.
If I work there I would to suggest reducing forklift accidents which are driver training, safety procedures, equipment maintenance, restricted or designated areas of operation and facility design. While these strategies will always be elements of workplace safety programs, collision statistics clearly indicate that training, signage, and floor markings for traffic control are not enough to assure a safe environment. Real-time monitoring and control can improve both safety and efficiency.
Firstly as an employee I will follow the OSHA checklist; enforce the requirement that all drivers wear seatbelts. Ergonomics of vehicles are currently difficult so change the driver’s seat so that the driver is not required to turn his/her head backwards to see in the direction of travel when the forklift is carrying a load In noisy environments, add rear backup lighting. Currently drivers rely on their hearing to know when a pedestrian is in the way.
Therefore, there is a need for something to replace acoustics. A suggestion would be to use a laser beam that projects 15 m in front of the vehicle through the intersections to tell pedestrians where the forklift is intending to go. Besides, adding sensors and cameras to forklifts to improve the driver’s FOV (Field of View). There is a need for the ability to track both pedestrians and forklifts and provide the information to the driver and/or to the pedestrians. Systems are needed to control forklift speed to prevent tip over. This must be done this without impacting productivity.

Technology is needed that can provide advance warning of hazards (earlier reaction time) and can directly limit forklift speed to assure adequate stopping distance based on location, load, vehicle type, and known hazards. Automatic load weight display is needed for the driver, similar to the speedometer in a vehicle, that would continuously show load weight and changes in % of vehicle lifting capacity as the vehicle moves, lifts, etc. Possible forklift improvements may be driver pin-code entry into a keypad or use a card scanner mounted to each forklift to allow that driver to operate the forklift with “black box” (similar to aircraft black boxes) information on who last operated the forklift. Potential uses of this improvement may be to recall which operator was running the forklift after an incident occurs and allow drivers who caused prior incidents to control the forklift at limited speeds and/or carry limited loads. Furthermore, load sensors in the seat to shut down and ensure a forklift “park” condition when the operator leaves the seat.
As for the conclusion, OSHA needs to do the inspection process which is restricted and hazardous area that involves accident of the employees. In addition, OSHA should include as part of its investigation protocol, an inquiry as to whether health and safety deficiencies are restricted to one department or area of a third party client company or are applicable to multiple areas within that work-site. In the event that OSHA learns of deficiencies beyond the individual area or department.
