the HSE has issued a safety alert after an operator was crushed by the lift arm of a skid-steer loader. The alert concerns the dangers that can result from defective interlocks which, when combined with unsafe operating practices, can potentially result in serious injury or even death to the operator.

The safety bulletin stresses the importance of reviewing and following manufacturers guidelines, having properly trained operators and the need to test, inspect and maintain interlocks.
