In modern industrial storage, manufacturing and logistics scenarios, electric forklifts are widely used as core material handling tools, while the mixed operation of forklifts and on-site pedestrians has always been one of the key hidden dangers leading to workplace safety accidents. A standardized, full-coverage forklift and pedestrian safety training system is the most cost-effective measure to reduce safety risks and protect the personal safety of all on-site personnel.

Unlike single forklift operation training, the forklift and pedestrian safety training covers all personnel who enter the operation work zone, not limited to certified forklift operators. The training sets up two mutually supporting modules for forklift operators and on-site pedestrians respectively, to build a complete safety protection system from both sides of the interaction.

For forklift operator training modules, the core contents include pre-operation vehicle inspection procedures, that staff need to check the braking performance, warning light, reverse buzzer and load condition of the electric forklift before each shift starts. It also includes standardized operation specifications such as no overloading, no carrying personnel on the fork arm, honking in advance when passing corners and blind areas, and arranging special guiding personnel when the driving vision is completely blocked.

For pedestrian training modules, the core contents include clearly identifying the exclusive driving lanes for forklifts, not entering the driving lane without permission, maintaining full attention when walking in the operation area, not using mobile phones that may distract attention during walking, keeping a safe distance of at least 3 meters from the running forklift, and taking the initiative to avoid vehicles when hearing the forklift warning prompt.

Enterprises are suggested to arrange regular safety training and quarterly re-examination, rather than only carry out the training once during employee onboarding, and organize regular emergency drill to strengthen the safety awareness of all personnel.
