Forklift accidents can be costly – not just financially, but operationally and reputationally too.
Hiring the right FLT driver is one of the simplest and most effective ways to minimise these risks.

The real costs of forklift accidents

• Property damage: Repairs to racking, stock, and forklifts can quickly add up.
• Injury claims: Workplace accidents involving forklifts often lead to expensive injury claims and higher insurance premiums.
• Operational downtime: Damage to equipment or facilities can bring warehouse operations to a standstill.
• Reputational damage: Safety incidents can impact customer trust and employee morale.

How poor recruitment increases your risk
Rushing recruitment, skipping checks, or hiring drivers with limited experience greatly increases the chance of accidents happening.
It’s not enough to have someone “licensed” – you need someone competent, careful, and compliant.
