Safety production is no small matter, enterprises should strictly abide by the provisions of safety production, strengthen the safety of employees awareness. Recently, in Jiangshan City, Zhejiang Province, in a case where an employee drove an illegal forklift without a license and caused the death of a co-worker, the company involved and the victim's family reached a compensation agreement, and the company involved paid a one-time compensation of 1.28 million yuan, and the injured party issued a letter of understanding. Let's take a look at the details.

Case Review:

At noon on March 26, 2022, Ye Mou, an employee of a wood company in Jiangshan City, found a worker, Zhang Mou, hoping that Zhang would help open a forklift truck to carry the goods in the factory area. Zhang Mou said that because he and Ye Mou were workers, he agreed to his request and went to help.

During the handling, because Zhang was not familiar with the forklift and drove improperly, the forklift cargo fork hit Ye's chest, and Ye fell to the ground on the spot. After the on-site workers called the emergency telephone, Ye was successively sent to the Xiakou Health Center and the Jiangshan People's Hospital for rescue, and at 20:46 that night, Ye died after ineffective rescue.

Recently, the local court, together with the local government, the local market supervision and management sub-bureau, and the local people's mediation committee, organized the two parties involved to mediate, and finally reached a people's mediation agreement in which the company compensated the injured party for various economic losses of 1.28 million yuan in one lump sum and the injured party issued a letter of understanding.

Cause of the accident:

After follow-up investigation, it was found that the forklift driver Zhang Mou did not obtain the special equipment operation qualification certificate required by the national department, and the company's forklift truck did not go to the local market supervision and management department to be licensed.

Good Luck Wang's Saying:

Forklifts are special equipment, according to the Special Equipment Safety Law

Article 14 of Chapter II stipulates that special equipment operators shall obtain corresponding qualifications in accordance with the relevant provisions of the State before they can engage in relevant work.

Article 33 of Chapter II stipulates that units using special equipment shall register the use of special equipment with the department responsible for safety supervision and management of special equipment before the special equipment is put into use or within 30 days after it is put into use, and obtain a certificate of registration for use. The registration mark shall be placed in a conspicuous position on the special equipment.

In the case, Zhang Mou was driving a forklift truck without a license, and the company involved did not register the forklift truck, which was the main reason for the accident.

The good luck wang second-hand forklift platform once again calls on enterprises: according to the law, the forklift license plate, the operator should obtain the forklift driving qualification according to the law, and at the same time, the enterprise should actively insure the forklift. In addition, enterprises should implement safety production responsibilities, comply with laws and regulations, and provide employees with safety production awareness.
