Hi Just a word of caution with unapproved equipment modifications (which may be a more serious health & safety risk than what you were trying to fix). The manufacturers would really need to approve the modifications and may be delighted with what you come up with! With regards, Jane Jane Fairburn BSc (Hons) RSpCPH (OH) CMIOSH Occupational Health Services Director Mobile 07770 638 268 Office 01925 227 000 Direct 01925 294 775 ☺ Save Paper - Do you really need to print this e-mail? -----Original Message----- From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chris Packham Sent: 03 September 2007 11:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] Fork Lift Truck and seating position From what you describe it seems to me that one way of approaching this would be to have a system where for him blocks could be fitted to the pedals to raise these so that he could use the seat normally. I did this for a secretary I once had who could not reach the pedals on my car. I made the blocks up myself so that they clipped firmly over the pedals but could be removed easily when not needed.
