You Tube Goes Forklift: - Safe or Unsafe? Legal or Illegal? You Decide! - Here's a list of interesting and instructive forklift videos. Most of you are familiar with You Tube. You can learn a lot about safe forklift procedures just by watching these videos. Nevertheless, view with caution, and do not draw any conclusions about your OSHA training before checking the OSHA forklift safety code yourself.

In the News: Disabled workers enable Walgreens distribution By Tom Andel Source. Drug store chain Walgreens recently opened an innovative new distribution center in Anderson, S.C. What makes the facility unique is not the technology inside—it's the workforce. 40% of the DC's (Distribution Center = warehouse) 264 employees are people with disabilities. Many of them were recruited through a special Web site—walgreensoutreach.com—that uses videos and detailed job descriptions to help potential employees determine whether they're qualified for the work. Walgreens' hiring initiative is not just charity. The Anderson facility, says Randy Lewis, vice president of distribution and logistics at Walgreens, is 20% more efficient than the chain's older DCs. "With these workers we have the lowest turnover and less absenteeism, and there are a lot of other rational arguments you can make," says Lewis, adding that this workforce performs just as well or better than one without disabilities. Employees at the Anderson facility use touch-screens that display icons, and workstations are ergonomically designed to the workers' range of motion. The company will duplicate this recipe of people and technology at a DC scheduled to open in Hartford, Conn., in 2009. 

While not all Walgreens' facilities use the same technology, all of them employ people of varying abilities, including those with autism and cerebral palsy. Jim Tompkins, president and CEO of supply chain consulting firm Tompkins Associates, says there's a big future in materials handling for senior citizens, the disabled and a variety of other people who have not been successful finding employment. "What a shame more companies aren't doing [what Walgreens is]," he says. "Underemployed people often turn out to be very loyal. You don't have turnover or absenteeism and they take pride in their work. Plus, pick-to-light or put-to-light technology is conducive to employing the handicapped in that environment." Randy Lewis offers these tips for building a workforce of people with disabilities: 1) Get a partner to provide the workforce (consult your state's vocational rehab agency). 2) Start with a "rock star" employee. 3) Hold your ground on standards. 4) Face co-workers' fears with education.

In the News: Forklifts Tap into Nuvera Hydrogen, CAMBRIDGE, MA, United States. Nuvera Fuel Cells Inc has installed its first hydrogen generation system for fuel cell applications at its partner East Penn Manufacturing Company Inc’s Topton, Pennsylvania, distribution centre. Nuvera Fuel Cells and East Penn agreed to develop a hybrid battery and fuel cell electric power source for forklifts and other off-road industrial vehicles in January 2005 (Forkliftaction.com News #191). Hydrogen generated by the PowerTap system will power a fleet of fuel cell-powered forklifts. The system has been implemented as part of a field test of the new ReadyPower unit, which combines Nuvera’s fuel cell technology and East Penn’s advanced lead-acid battery design. PowerTap global market leader Charles Myers said PowerTap was designed with the objective of producing on-site hydrogen in the most cost-effective way for delivery to the fleet of forklifts. “This hydrogen source is economically attractive and a viable source of alternative energy for warehouses and distribution centres today.”PowerTap’s PTG-50 generation module produces hydrogen from natural gas at a rate of 2.4kg/hour. Nuvera’s proprietary technology, using pressure swing absorption technology and providing hydrogen at a minimum purity of 99.995 per cent, is at the core of the PTG-50

Humor: by Yogi Berra (1925 - ) The Yogi-ism, a unique mode of malapropism. New York Yankees catcher and Hall of fame MVP from late 1940's into 60's. You can observe a lot just by watching. This is like deja vu all over again. Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical. You can't think and hit at the same time. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded. If the fans don't wanna come out to the ballpark, no one can stop 'em. The future ain't what it used to be. It gets late early out there. It ain't over 'til it's over. I didn't really say everything I said.

Job Safety: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) reports  6,000 people die each year from workplace injuries, with another 6 million workers suffering non-fatal workplace injuries at an annual cost of more than $125 billion to U.S. businesses. “The world’s most efficiently run manufacturers understand better than most the drain injuries place on employees, and on corporate profits,” IndustryWeek noted earlier this month. “Companies interested in improving productivity, quality, morale and employee health while reducing injuries employ multi-faceted programs to aggressively address the issue.” In this context, “due diligence” means taking all reasonable care in all circumstances of the workplace to protect the health and safety of all workers. This is the standard of care required to comply with OSHA regulations. And it requires communicating and fostering a culture of safety. An IBM server worth $1.4 million was wrecked after it fell off a forklift during shipping, InformationWeek recently reported. Now the customer is suing. "The rear wheels of their forklift hit the raised surface at the entry door of the warehouse, causing the forklift to rock, and subsequently causing the server to rock … As a result of the rocking motion, the base of the pallet and the crate broke and the crate fell onto the curb, damaging the server packed inside," the contractor stated in court papers filed in July. "The damage sustained by T.R. Systems was due to the poor workmanship and/or defective packaging design and methods used by IBM, the company argued in court papers. 

Job Safety: Now, $1.4 million is a lot of money — yet this doesn't hold a candle to the loss of human life still too common to forklift screw-ups. In the U.S. alone, 1,021 workers died from traumatic injuries suffered in forklift-related incidents from 1980 to 1994, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Forklift-related accidents also kill more than 100 workers a year, according to eMedia's Health & Safety in Manufacturing Bulletin. About a quarter of these fatalities are caused by overturning. It comes as little surprise, then, that "Powered Industrial Trucks," or forklifts, came in at #6 on OSHA's most recent list of top 10 violations. National fatality data from NIOSH indicate that the three most common forklift-related fatalities involve forklift overturns, workers on foot being struck by forklifts and workers falling from forklifts. Inadequate operator training again accounted most frequently for federal forklift-related violations, the US Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) said. Statistics for the year to September 30 repeated OSHA’s findings on citations for forklift violations in past years. Other than training, OSHA issued the most forklift violations during fiscal 2006 for operating an unsafe vehicle, 418; lack of vehicle certification, 375; missing triennial evaluation of operator performance, 256; and untimely frequency of inspections, 223. “The biggest issue for powered industrial trucks (forklifts) is lack of training,” Richard Fairfax, director of OSHA enforcement programs, said on November 7 while discussing OSHA’s top 10 violations program at the National Safety Council annual congress, in San Diego.

Worth Mentioning: Supply chain trade associations are collaborating to form the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN). The network will assist government and relief agencies in providing humanitarian aid to prepare for and respond to disaster situations. The following Associations are among the founders of ALAN: Material Handling Industry of America, Material Handling Equipment Distributors Association, Warehousing Education and Research Council, and Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.
