Falling
fork breaks mechanic's finger, while in check. |
A mechanic was checking
the clearance between the inner rollers and the inner mast, as they caused
abnormal noises presumably due to friction. Standing in front of the
operator's platform, he stretched an arm for the fork control lever
intending to raise the fork, but he lowered it by mistake. He had a finger
pinched in between the lowered fork and the mast. |
|
|
Corrective Action |
1.
|
Operate the
control levers only in the operator's platform. Do not touch the
mast. |
2.
|
When checking
the machine condition, appoint an inspector and an operator independently.
Moreover, if the circumstance so requires, appoint a signalman, too, for
assuring safety in the work. |
