I see safety as a "numbers" business. Sooner or later the "untrained" pedestrian WILL do something stupid.

I have had a pedestrian actually mount my moving lift. After educating this pedestrian ( and others ) I have come to believe that few pedestrians realize just how much danger they could be placing themselves in by such actions.

Just an hour or two pedestrian education session would save the company money. ( lost time injuries, medical expenses, possibly even an insurance break )

Until the bean counters quit being penny wise-pound foolish we will continue to have half of the lift safety equation unfulfilled.

The best we can do at this point is to ensure the operator is sufficiently trained to recognize and avoid the worst of the situation. ( ie..what to do when the pedestrian has a brain fart )

Should it be up to the operators to educate their pedestrian co- workers?
