Two crushed by forklifts

摘要

Forklifts and associated loads can cause serious crush injuries to plant operators and pedestrians, Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHS Queensland) warned after two workers died in separate forklift-related incidents. According to WHS Queensland, one worker was killed when a reversing forklift crushed them against a truck at a transport yard in May 2019, while the other was crushed by a portable generator that was being unloaded from a truck by a forklift in July. Investigations into both incidents are continuing.
