Forklifts aren’t cars, and they don’t drive like them.
They don’t brake or accelerate like cars, and they certainly don’t steer like them, yet accidents occur far too often because drivers and pedestrians don’t understand the difference. Pedestrians often misunderstand how forklifts maneuver and the dangers of walking or working around them. Forklifts aren’t dangerous to pedestrians only from the front or rear — they can also hit someone on foot from the side, frequently due to rear-end swings, since forklifts swing wide when they corner.
How can your reduce the chances for this type of accident?
