In 99% of the facilities I deal with it is know that the pedestrian has the right of way. This does not mean that they may walk out in front of a lift at will but rather if the two meet quickly the responsibility for the pedestrians safety falls to the forklift operator. In a few rare cases I have seen companies allow the forklift the right of way and instruct pedestrians of this. In either case the pedestrian needs to stay aware of the surroundings and avoid forklifts and the drivers need to be careful around people and keep a watchful eye out. Forklift operators are fully trained but pedestrians usually get awareness training if any at all.
