Forklift operators & also the pedestrians / workers in the vicinity of a forklift in the workplace should really be looking out for each other.

In a collision between a forklift & a human, 99.9% of the time the forklift is easily going to come of better.

A lot of people working around material handling equipment just don't realise / appreciate how much the equipment actually weighs & that it can seriously injury or even kill them if they are hit by it.

I've seen it no end of time's in different place's where people on the shop floor will get to near a working forklift out of the operators vision / in the blind spot & then wonder why they have a near miss incident or get hit.
