 Manipulační vozíky – The tool is intended for all users of motorized handling trucks. Handling trucks are not only a useful work aid, but also a significant source of risk. They have caused, are causing and are likely to cause damage to health and property. It is a sad fact that fatal occupational accidents often occur in connection with their operation. If we analyze the root causes of accidents associated with the operation of handling trucks, we find that the cause is mainly the human factor. It is primarily carelessness and failure to follow safety policies and rules. Furthermore, insufficient training, unsatisfactory health status and, in some cases, the use of wheelchairs under the influence of alcohol and other psychotropic substances. Incidents also often result from the use of handling trucks for purposes other than those specified by the manufacturer. The poor technical condition of trucks caused by insufficient maintenance or failure to carry out technical inspections also has serious consequences. The unsatisfactory state of workplaces and roads, poor safety signage, traffic organization, etc. must not be forgotten. |
