: A forklift truck, commonly used for transporting heavy materials in manufacturing industries, etc., is a useful machine. However accidents occur frequently during the operation of the machine. In order to prevent accidents it is necessary to examine the current safety regulations on a forklift truck. Because the regulations have not revised for a long time, they do not reflect the rapidly changing environment of industries. Proposed revision of standard on articles for forklift trucks was presented after analysing the causes of occurred injuries, comparing domestic standards with international standards and examining the survey results. We analyzed the safety regulation articles and the injuries according to the type of work conducted with forklift. The major differences in safety regulations between Korea and the major foreign countries were investigated. The opinions of field workers on the safety regulations were surveyed using e-mail or interview. As a result, it was found that preventing workers from contacting with the forklift is very important. To prevent accident due to movement of a stopped forklift, actions are necessary to prevent slip of a forklift. Also supervision is required to make workers fasten safety belt and to prohibit workers from using a forklift for undesignated purpose. 연구방법지게차에 의한 주요 재해 발생 업종을 파악하기 위해 최 근 3년간의 한국산업안전보건공단 재해 통계 자료를 활용

“…Such an incident type often leads to severe trauma inflicted to the pedestrian and possibly death. Larsson and Rechnitzer (1994) conducted a detailed study of forklift incidences within the Victorian state of Australia. The required end outcomes from this research were to advise regulators and industry on priorities for injury prevention.…”
