Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) consider safety a top priority.
According to EU-OSHA, an average of 5,720 work-related accidents across Europe result in fatalities each year. Naturally many of these accidents occur whilst operating heavy machinery such as forklifts and an estimated 30% are due to tipping over sideways. Yet many of these accidents could so easily be prevented by inspecting the lifting equipment before use.

TMHE present a simple three part daily checklist for electric forklift operators:
1. Check levels
2. Visual check and walk around the truck
3. Driver compartment and dynamic check
