Navigating the Crossroads of Forklift and Pedestrian Safety

At CMI, we understand the critical intersection of forklift operations and pedestrian safety in the workplace. Our mission is to empower organizations with the knowledge and skills to foster a safer working environment.

The Challenge:

Forklifts are indispensable in various industries, but their operation poses significant risks, particularly when pedestrians are involved. Without proper safety measures, these encounters can lead to severe accidents and injuries.

  • Each year 75 to 100 workers are killed in forklift accidents, with an average of 87 deaths per year.
  • Forklift accidents that result in serious injury total 34,900 annually.
  • OSHA’s Powered Industrial Truck Standard is consistently in the top 5 most cited standards.

If companies implemented more stringent training and inspection policies, OSHA estimates that about 70% of forklift accidents in the US could be prevented.
