Forklifts and pedestrians: managing intersecting routes
A pedestrian entering a forklift operating zone is exposed to the operator's limited view and the moving load. Floor markings must match actual traffic.
Illustrative site situation
Illustrative situation: a delivery blocks the usual pedestrian route. The shortcut intersects a forklift reversing zone, requiring an immediate route review.
Original hypothetical example, not an actual incident.
