Forklifts & Pedestrians
Pedestrian Safety
Pedestrians and forklifts don’t mix. Almost half of all people injured by a forklift are pedestrians. There are some obvious areas that can be addressed to improve pedestrian safety around forklifts, including: designating pedestrian exclusion zones; clearly marking pedestrian walkways; and audio or visual warnings of an approaching forklift. Consideration should be given to the height and type of load carried, the operating surface and the speed travelled.Reduce the risk by ensuring your policies and procedures are up to date.
