Forklifts are well known workhorses in the construction industry used in everything from warehouses to job sites. They come in various shapes and sizes, with the ability to lift and transport anywhere from 5,000 to 50,000 pounds with industrial forklift models. With a machine this powerful, there is always the potential for injury. Even with proper training, injuries can and do occur on construction sites. Here’s a look at some of the key accidents and injuries in the forklift industry. 1. Of the 7,940 non-fatal forklift injuries in 2018, just under 88 percent happened to men and 12 percent to women. 2. Forklift and industrial truck accidents are responsible for an average of 34,900 injuries per year. 3. 1,700 non-fatal forklift injuries occurred to operators ages 25 to 34, making it the highest injured group in 2018. 4. Service-providing industries like warehouses, transportation and utilities, had the highest injury total over any other industry with 5,390 forklift-related injury cases in 2018. 5. From 2011 to 2018, an average of 7.1 percent of workers missed work each year due to a forklift-related injury. 6. In 2018, the three leading injuries from forklift accidents were fractures (1,710), bruises contusions (1,570) and sprains/muscle tears (1,490). Fun fact: Over a million forklifts are “born” annually
