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.

Fact of the week
In Germany, the 9th of November is sometimes called Schicksalstag, the "Day of Fate" because it has been the day for several major historical events, including the horrors of Kristallnacht in 1938 and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
