Tens of thousands of work related injuries are reported each year due to forklift accidents. These accidents have not only cost companies in excess of $100 millions but have resulted in taking the lives of hundreds of employees.

Forklifts are required in almost all industries. However, it can also be one of the most dangerous equipment if it is not handled properly. The forklift related accidents can be attributed to lack of safety rule enforcement, lack of proper operating procedures and inadequate training of the workers. OSHA claims that employees get injured when trucks are inadvertently driven off the loading docks, struck by a lift truck, fall or crushed.

One fact is that these accidents related to forklift could have been avoided. The following steps would let you know how you can prevent this occupational hazard and protect your workers:

* OSHA Safety Training: OSHA’s main mission is to prevent occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities by enforcing and issuing standards for workplace safety and health. With forklifts being one of the leading causes of occupational accidents and injuries, OSHA has mandated every employee handling forklift must get a certification to operate it. If an operator is not certified then, the company is liable to face a penalty up to $7,000. So, being trained in the OSHA forklift standard will save you big time.

* The operators must get a training that fully complies with the OSHA regulations. A forklift training includes different areas of study. The OSHA safety training will meet the requirements and provide a detailed info on how to operate the forklift properly, how to complete daily checklist and so on. Once the training is completed, the participants will receive the certificate and they can start to operate the forklift.

* Modify Work Environment: It does happen often that innocent pedestrians get struck by forklifts. An operator must be extra cautious when they are operating between pedestrian traffic. They must slow down, stop at all crosswalks and blow the horn. You must always maintain a safe speed all the time.

* Install Accurate safety Items: Install mirrors at corners where vision is often limited to see the oncoming traffic. Barriers or railings must be installed to prevent it from having a big impact with items like electrical equipment or other utilities. Posters should be posted in break rooms and other high traffic areas in the workplaces. Drivers should be provided with proper PPE like eye protection and gloves and the forklifts must be equipped with seat belts ad safety seats.

Bin Laden Found!

Ok its been almost 9 years since we started hunting Bin Laden and you expect me to believe that the US Government and its 27 different intelligence agencies employing thousands of the finest trained intelligencia in the world cant find one man? Or do they know where he is and have an agreement with him that he wont attack the US on US soil in return we dont kill him and his entire family? Which do you find more plausible? Since he was armed and trained by us to fight the Russians we have an LTR with him already. I read today about the billions of US Dollars being flown out of Afghanistan. They literally have stacks of cash on pallets being loaded onto planes with forklifts to send to foreign contries to be deposited in banks where they can retire with mansions, yaughts and young women for the rest of their lives. That money comes from the US Government and NATO. Tens of billions of dollars being flown out of a country whoes entire GDP is 13 billion per annum. I cant be the only person on earth who sees this. Tell me I am not dreaming??? All governments are corrupt. Democracy a real democratic government like ours is the best way to run a government. There is still corruption as where you have humans you will have corruption, but its the lowest level of corruption anywhere. Afghanistan is one of the worst currupt governments on earth. President Karzia own brother is a major drug dealer using the military to move drugs and cash. The US needs to remove Karzia and replace him with someone willing to transform the country away from narco terrorism and toward a more agragrian nation, maintain control over the Taliban and focus on infrastructure. Schools, roads, hospitals, clean drinking water, equal rights for woman. Give the country and its citizens the opportunity to grow and flourish. Its a major crime of history and a major crime against humanity to sit back and do nothing. There is a real opportunity to make huge gains there now. Get rid of Karzia, destroy all the poppy fields and give the people a real chance for life. There will be a need for the US to increase aid to detox centers nationwide as our herion addicts go through withdrawal but in the end sobriety is a better course for a life then addiction. Before I forget I need to remind you that this blog is being brought to you by Jay Servidio founder and CEO of Teleteria, the worlds largest provider of custom adult turnkey web cam sites.

Jay Servidio started his career in the telecom industry. Having worked for MCI, Sprint and AT&T in various sales positions starting from telemarketing up to national accounts. His ability to manage accounts always had him in the top 3% of his peers. Wanting more challenge Jay Servidio started Teleteria in 1994 to resell 900 and 970 numbers and offer custom adult website packages. Teleteria quickly became the industry leader in the adult design business and has been since 1994.

Prologistix Staffing Identifies Warehouse Safety Points

According to Brian Devine, division vice-president of ProLogistix, “The points for ProLogistix – Warehouse safety include:

 Every branch has a certified forklift instructor qualified to certify forklift operators in compliance with OSHA regulations

 Our testing and screening process eliminates those candidates who don’t have previous experience on lifts

 In our warehouse branches, we can have applicants demonstrate their proficiency on different types of lifts

 Back injuries from improper lifting is always an important factor, we have conducted specific safety classes to teach proper lifting techniques

 Safety starts with selecting the right candidate for the environment – for example – someone who is used to working in a 500,000 sq. ft. warehouse may be uncomfortable working in a very confined, fast-paced cross-dock facility.

The combination of an exclusive focus on logistics, screening tools utilized in the application process, and the experience of branch staff makes ProLogistix the leading provider of logistics talent in the country. Unlike other staffing organizations, 100% of ProLogistix recruiting efforts are logistics centered. Branch staff is trained in logistics, and they understand the intricacies of the industry. ProLogistix is fortunate to have built a reputation in the communities served as the “go-to” company when seeking a job in a warehouse or distribution center.

The types of positions ProLogistix fills include:

• Loaders and Unloaders

• Order Selectors

• Warehouse Associates

• Shipping and Receiving

• Forklift Operators

• Quality Assurance

• Supervisors

• Warehouse Managers

• Operations Manager

Brian Devine has more than ten years of staffing experience and is a management owner of the company and is the founder of the ProLogistix brand. Devine attended Towson State University majoring in Mass Communications. Devine began his career with PaineWebber Mortgage Finance where he held the position of Area Vice President for the Southeast Region. Devine began his staffing career as Vice President of Marketing for US Personnel. Since1995, Brian has led the ProLogistix Division and has established it as one of the most successful logistics placement businesses in North America. Devine was the 2000 winner of the EmployBridge Spirit Award for exemplary demonstration of company core values.

ResourceMFG, the sister division to ProLogistix places manufacturing specific positions. Devine explained the differentiation between the two organization by noting, “The way we differentiate between which clients are best served by ResourceMFG or ProLogistix is to ask what the company does. If they manufacture products, then they are best suited to ResourceMFG; if they distribute products, then ProLogistix is the right staff solution.”
