    • Abstract:
      The article reports that forklift accidents in the U.S. cause nearly 100 deaths and another 20,000 serious injuries every year, according to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. A quarter of the fatalities are attributed to injuries from overturning vehicles. Concerns about overturning lifts prompted the Occupational and Safety Health Administration to mandate operator-restraining means some years ago, according to industry consultant Robert N. Rogers, whose career spanned 37 years at Raymond Corp. in the pursuit of forklift safety. Its Curve Control system watches truck speed and steering angle to determine when a vehicle is about to succumb to an overturning moment.
