Common sense
 Common sense tell us that in order for a
pedestrian to be injured by a forklift, that
pedestrian must be in close enough proximity
to be struck.
 For a forklift that is running, a four feet safety
zone is recommended.
 The actual “ kill zone” of the forklift may be
much longer than four feet, however.
Accident prevention:
Your choice
 Before crossing the
curtains or doors
 Which most
effectively warns you
of an approaching
forklift
 If you get too close
to a forklift, you could
be:
 Look both ways
 Horn, strobe lights,
back up alarms
 Struck by the forklift
or falling objects
Conclusion
 At the end of the day,
it really doesn't
matter who’s at fault.
What matter is..at the
end of the day we all
get to go home.
