OSHA estimates that 70% of all forklift accidents in the US are preventable with proper training. It will reduce 85 deaths yearly in the workplace.

The first mistake you must not make is to ignore proper training. Training can prevent accidents because it equips you to do the right thing. 42% of forklift fatalities are caused by tip-overs from overloading.
