Local fork lift truck accident rates revealed

As part of the successful National Fork Lift Safety Week campaign, the FLTA revealed the UK's most dangerous locations to be around fork lift trucks.

 

This yielded some surprising results, as well as the news that people living in the North are twice as likely to be involved in a fork lift truck accident as Southerners.
