Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian accidents are the most common type of accident, but they are easily preventable.

Operators should understand truck limitations and operate the truck in a safe manner so as not to cause injury to personnel. They should be trained to safeguard pedestrians at all times:

• Always look in the direction of travel.
• Do not drive a truck up to anyone standing in front of an object.
• Ensure that personnel stand clear of the rear swing area before conducting turning maneuvers.
• Excercise particular care at cross aisles, doorways and other locations where pedestrians may step into the path of travel of the truck.

Pedestrians should be trained too. For more information, order the new video on pedestrian safety from your local Clark dealer.
