In Europe, the largest share of all fatal accidents at work took place while people were driving or on board transport or handling equipment (17.2 %). Losing control of machines, tools, or transport and handling equipment is also the leading cause of both non-fatal and fatal accidents, accounting for 25.7 % of the latter in the EU. This highlights how safety requires constant focus and attention from lift truck operators, pedestrians, supervisors, and managers alike.
