Industrial establishments rely on forklifts and moving equipment to move loads around the plant. This capability makes them indispensable, but also dangerous if not treated with respect. Often, as workers grow accustomed to using forklifts, they tend to stop thinking of them as a safety hazard. This thoughtlessness applies to both operators and pedestrians walking about the plant. Given the size of these machines, should a forklift or moving equipment injury occur, they're usually serious? Employees must be trained to work safely with forklifts and other forms of moving equipment. Likewise, refresher training for the experienced operator is just as important as first-time training for new employees.

Keep a sharp lookout near moving equipment.
Among other things, this topic focuses on 'Rules of the Road'. Walking about a plant is very similar to crossing a major highway and important advice is offered here: when to go and when to stop. However, unlike a highway where you look left and look right, you must always LOOK UP as well.- # 67
