Confined work areas are particularly hazardous for forklift activity as they have workers concentrating on the task at hand, who may not be aware that a forklift is present. This situation often causes serious accidents to occur and should be avoided at all cost
Risk assessments and HSE accident reports show that forklifts MUST be prohibited in work areas and segregated access provided. Pedestrian operated options are shown to be much safer to use where people are present.
