Understanding Forklift Accidents in New York City

New York City is a bustling metropolis with numerous construction sites and warehouses where forklifts are commonly used. Unfortunately, this also means that forklift accidents are a significant concern for workers in the area. The New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are key entities that regulate safety standards to help prevent such incidents. However, accidents still occur, often leading to severe injuries.
