Crown Equipment Corporation<\/a> is using today\u2019s National Forklift Safety Day, sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA), to collaborate with companies on achieving greater connectivity in their facilities to help enhance safety.<\/p>\n

As part of the company\u2019s educational campaign designed to increase awareness of the importance of forklift safety, Crown<\/a> is releasing the next chapter of its e-book \u201cAchieving Material Handling Connectivity.\u201d The safety-focused chapter 5 helps readers understand how greater connectivity can provide a platform enabling the use of new data, technologies and processes to reinforce training and positively evolve the mindset and behavior of operators. Crown<\/a> executives will also attend National Forklift Safety Day events in Washington, D.C., where the company\u2019s director of environmental health and safety, Brian Duffy, is a featured speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we are finding is that safety considerations and initiatives are often accelerating the adoption of connected technologies and equipment inside the facility,\u201d said Ron Grisez, director of product safety, Crown Equipment<\/a>. \u201cFor example, customers like the idea of controlling access to ensure equipment is only operated by authorized and certified personnel or having a connected forklift alert managers when there is an impact or maintenance issue that if left unchecked can create a safety hazard.\u201d<\/p>\n

While greater connectivity in the warehouse helps to create a safe and modern working environment, Crown<\/a> is also emphasizing the responsibility each individual \u2013 regardless of role \u2013 has in creating and promoting a safety-based culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone should be a contributor to safety. It starts with the right training and that changes mindset and produces safe behaviors,\u201d Grisez noted. \u201cIt is not just about the quality of the training, but also the accessibility of the training, and not just for operators, but also for trainers, supervisors and even pedestrians.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greater connectivity can provide a platform enabling the use of new data, technologies and processes to reinforce training.<\/p><\/div>\n

Crown<\/a> continues to highlight customer stories featuring safety best practices and impactful results. For instance, Northgate Markets, a family-owned and operated business that distributes fresh produce, meats and grocery items, recently achieved its lowest injury rate in the past 11 years with the help of Crown<\/a>\u2019s InfoLink fleet and operator management system.<\/p>\n

Although Northgate had processes in place for gathering pre-shift safety inspection data, it struggled to get its operators to document inspections and avoid impacts on a consistent basis. The company used Crown<\/a>\u2019s InfoLink to electronically capture pre-shift inspections. The result was that operator compliance rose from approximately 40 percent to virtually 100 percent.<\/p>\n

Crown<\/a> also recently launched a virtual trade show offering an interactive 3-D display of content on a variety of topics, including connectivity, automation and alternative power sources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
