Pedestrian Safety Around Forklifts

FLO-5.2

Pedestrians suffer 26% of all forklift-related injuries in U.S. workplaces. Many of these injuries end up being serious or fatal to pedestrians. Pedestrians can be struck or crushed by forklifts, hit by objects falling from a forklift, or fall off a forklift they are riding on. However, most forklift accidents are easily preventable when forklift operators and pedestrians are trained, follow safe work practices and stay mindful of forklift hazards. This course will help learners recognize the risks forklifts pose to pedestrians and the proper safety measures to follow. This course is intended for all employees working in areas where both pedestrians and forklifts are present.
