(Access Control Group: Chandler, AZ) -- Chaotic work environments, distracted workers, and equipment zooming through facilities such as distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, or ports can cause collision risks.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the construction industry is responsible for more than 21 percent of all worker deaths in the United States, and OSHA estimates forklifts cause 34,900 accidents that result in serious injury each year. This can cost a company from $38,000 to $150,000 for a single incident. Many such accidents could be avoided with the right equipment and training.
