If you are researching komatsu reach forklift truck in and around Aberdeenshire you may wish to know that a business was fined over £50,000 when an employee was crushed to death. A forklift driver had performed an emergency stop while going round a corner in order to avoid hitting another member of staff. However the sudden braking caused the goods being carried to fall off and pin the man to the ground. The court found that no risk assessments had been carried out and that there was no system to safely separate pedestrians from vehicles on the site.
