8 Nov 2023 The Barcode Warehouse LtdFatal forklift accident without seatbelt: Barcode Warehouse pays £500,000 United KingdomWorkplace safety and accidents €574,614

A 35-year-old forklift driver died at the Newark site when his counterbalance forklift truck overturned after striking a kerb; he was not wearing a seatbelt and was trapped under the overhead guard. The company had not enforced the requirement to wear seatbelts and had not adequately assessed its forklift operations. Fine of £500,000 plus costs.

What organisations can take from it

A seatbelt requirement only helps if supervisors check it and consistently address breaches.
