Watch out for pedestrians.
Avoid driving a forklift up to anyone who is standing in front of a bench or any other fixed object. Travel in reverse when the load is blocking frontal vision. Reduce speed when vision is restricted by doors, corners and when entering a trailer. Keep to the right unless conditions or layout dictate otherwise. Watch the swing of the rear of the forklift as well as the forks and the load.

Always watch for people around you while driving forklift.
Pedestrian traffic and other personnel in the area may not anticipate your actions and step or move into harm's way. |
