Pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable employees in a warehouse setting.
This is due to losing in a physical battle between man and machine.
What can be done to help ensure the safety of pedestrians?
One of the most important things a warehouse manager or safety manager can do is to control precisely where pedestrians are walking while in the warehouse.
Making pedestrian travel paths predictable helps to ensure that operators know where to expect people.

Pedestrian Behavior Near Operating Trucks and FLT's
Safety tips and best practices will help workers recognize the hazards of forklifts in the same work environment as foot traffic.
Pedestrians are often in the same work environment with forklift operators.
Every precaution must be taken to prevent injury to all personnel who may be walking in the same area as the forklift.

Forklifts are widely used across various industries, but the potential for severe accidents is high, particularly for people working nearby.
Common forklift incidents include collisions with people or other vehicles, unstable loads falling from the truck, people being trapped, and the forklift tipping over.
Blind spots are a common problem often arising when a load or attachment is blocking the view, or simply relating to the nature of the working environment.
Pedestrians should know their blind spots to avoid getting caught in an accident.
Knowing how a forklift operates will benefit both the operator and the pedestrian.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Warehouses are hazardous work environments that require necessary risk management strategies.
In warehouses, risk management must be carried out before any work commences and consider any potential risks in the workplace and how the risk will be controlled or eliminated.
A key requirement to warehouse safety management involves Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that has the potential to help minimise levels of risk and ensure the health and safety of workers on site.


Types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)


Some of the common PPE for warehouse workers can include:


Hard hats
High-visibility clothing
Safety goggles/glasses


Safety boots with a steel toe cap
Overalls
Safety gloves
