What is the primary purpose of designated pedestrian walkways in a forklift operating area?
Answer: To separate foot traffic from forklift travel paths
Designated pedestrian walkways physically separate workers on foot from powered industrial truck travel paths, reducing collision risk.

Answer: Sound the horn and slow down before entering
OSHA guidelines require operators to sound the horn and reduce speed at blind intersections to warn pedestrians and other vehicles.
Which traffic control device is commonly installed at busy pedestrian crossings inside warehouses?

Convex mirrors allow both forklift operators and pedestrians to see around blind corners before entering a shared zone.
What should a forklift operator do when pedestrians are present in the travel aisle?

Pedestrians always have the right of way, and the operator must yield and wait until the path is clear.

Answer: Yellow
