What specific safety protocols were breached leading to the forklift accident?

Question

Accepted Answer

No specific safety protocol breach was identified in the available details

The incident involved a 20-year-old Pakistani worker at a paper processing factory in Pulau Indah, Klang, who was killed after the forklift he was driving overturned at about 2am. The available details show that he was reversing at high speed with the fork raised to the highest level and then made a sudden U-turn, but no specific workplace safety protocol was named as having been breached.
The accident sequence was tied to unsafe forklift movement
The forklift overturned after the driver reversed at high speed with the fork raised fully and then turned suddenly. That sequence caused the machine to topple and crush the victim, who died instantly.

The published details do not list the company’s safety rules
No company-specific forklift rules, training requirements, or formal safety procedures were described in the available details. The only concrete unsafe actions mentioned were high-speed reversing, a raised fork, and a sudden U-turn before the overturn.
