Sources: Forklift accidents from OSHA Severe Injury Reports (series SIR.FORKLIFT.TOTAL), snapshot retrieved August 21, 2026; Forklift amputations from OSHA Severe Injury Reports (series SIR.FORKLIFT.AMP), snapshot retrieved August 21, 2026; Forklift hospitalizations from OSHA Severe Injury Reports (series SIR.FORKLIFT.HOSP), snapshot retrieved August 21, 2026 . 2025 is a partial year: this dataset runs to November 30, 2025, so that year covers fewer months than the ones before it. It is charted for continuity but excluded from every figure, rank and trend on this page, which use the last complete year. Bar height is each year as a share of the tallest year in its own series and the last bar is the latest observation, and the full licence is printed on each measure's detail page. Ranks are latest-value and rank 1 marks the best outcome for that measure. See the methodology for coverage, licences and the derivation pipeline.
