Cases of Accident-related Injuries
| Spurted-out oil lets fork fall, seriously injuring mechanic |
| In course of inspecting
a lift truck, a mechanic tried to loosen a plug on the gauge board in
order to measure the set hydraulic oil pressure for the work equipment.
The fork was kept in a raised position during the work. The moment he loosened the plug, hydraulic oil spurted out and the fork went down almost simultaneously. The mechanic was crushed under the dropped fork and seriously injured. |

| Corrective Action | |
| 1. | If it is required to do the work with a fork lifted up, be sure to use a pillar or block to support the fork for safety. |
| 2. | In servicing hydraulic systems, be familiar with the mechanism, review the work process and confirm safety in the work before starting the actual work. |
