UL Solutions has published a list of safety tips that can help forklift operators and pedestrians avoid incidents in the workplace.

The checklist divides tips into guidance for pedestrians, forklift operators, and employers, including:

• Pedestrians: Use designated pedestrian paths, avoid shortcuts through vision-obscuring equipment, and beware of floor hazards like water or sawdust that may affect the forklift’s ability to stop or maneuver safety
• Forklift operators: Sound the horn when approaching aisles or corners, reduce speed in dimly lit or congested areas, and always give pedestrians the right of way
• Employers: Restrict non-essential personnel from warehouses, ensure all employees (not just operators) are trained on the hazards of forklifts, and mark clear pedestrian paths
