Working Around Forklifts
VR Training Now Available
Experience overview.
Forklift operation is an essential part of many employees’ daily routines, and when used safely and correctly, they are an incredibly useful piece of machinery. Unfortunately, growing workplace accident statistics show us that traditional forklift safety training is not working, and is causing the beloved forklift to be a leading cause of fatal warehousing accidents. On top of this, traditional forklift training is usually aimed at solely the driver, yet more than 50% of forklift accidents involve pedestrians. Next World’s VR Working Around Forklifts training drops trainees in an immersive warehouse situation and teaches them all the right methods for working around forklifts safely, as well as the hazards that can follow from ineffective training.
