We are finding in our Alberta worksite poll of about 2200 operators so far a 50/50 split between the forklift and the pedestrian. So our conclusion is that nobody really knows for sure. A long standing standard adopted years ago in the larger plantsites is that the bigger machine was granted the right of way. This has now trickled down through to the smaller companies and is widely accepted.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
