What is Industrial MHE Safety?
MHE safety involves the correct use of machinery, personal protective equipment (PPE), and adherence to floor protocols to prevent human injury and product damage.
For example, a forklift operator should always sound the horn at blind corners and never carry a load that blocks their forward view.
