ELOKON Reveals Trends & Tips on Global Forklift Safety

ELOKON, Inc., a leading innovator in automated forklift safety and fleet management systems, unveiled emerging trends in forklift safety along with tips on how to ensure workforce safety in dynamic warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. These trends and tips will be discussed in depth in ELOKON’s booth (#1564)—and a seminar by ELOKON CEO Alex Glasmacher—at the American Society of Safety Professionals’ Safety 2024 Conference and Exposition August 7-9 in Denver.

Forklift accidents resulting in serious injuries total 34,900 annually, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), with 95 people on average seriously injured every day and one person killed every four days in the U.S. alone.

The modern advancements highlighted in ELOKON’s new article include:

•        Growing use of automation, including autonomous forklifts;
•        Rising use of artificial intelligence;
•        Advancements in sensor technology; and
•        Emergence of wearable safety devices.

As these trends are put into practice, companies can further benefit by establishing and following safety procedures/rules within their facilities, including improving visibility within the facility; placing floor markings to mark hazards and high traffic areas or pedestrian walkways; conducting pre-operational checklists and maintenance; and implementing the wearable safety devices and remote fleet analysis tools to increase fleet data visibility to monitor fleet status and operation times anywhere in the world.
