Q6 - Whose primary responsibility is it to avoid pedestrians and forklifts coming together? *
a. Forklift operators. After all, they are the people in charge of the equipment that can do the damage.
b. The pedestrian. After all, pedestrians should be looking out for forklifts and have been warned about them being in the area. Pedestrians are more agile and can take avoiding action more easily.
c. Everyone’s. Assuming that someone else has responsibility for avoidance is a recipe for disaster! Everyone should be mindful to maintain a suitable distance from forklift operations and pedestrians at all times.
Please select your answer
