Protect employees working around forklifts and powered industrial trucks

Forklifts are essential for moving materials efficiently, but they also present serious workplace hazards. Every year, forklift-related incidents result in injuries and fatalities involving both operators and pedestrians. Employees who work or walk near forklifts must understand the risks and know how to safely navigate active work areas.

Forklifts and Pedestrian Safety is a 20-minute online safety training course designed for employees who work around forklifts but do not operate them. The course teaches workers how to recognize common forklift hazards, identify unsafe conditions, and follow proven safety practices that help prevent struck-by, caught-between, and other serious workplace incidents.

  • Identify common hazards associated with forklifts and powered industrial trucks
