Accidents between pedestrians and fork trucks or clamps rarely occur, but when they do, the injuries are almost always serious.

Lift trucks, because of their design with masts and rollcages, have limited visibility. Lift trucks operators must always look out for pedestrians entering their work area and drive their trucks carefully at all times. Pedestrians have a responsibility also:

Never just stand in any aisle way used by forklifts or transfer cars. Be active in accident prevention even as you are considered a pedestrian by a fork truck operator!
