Employers play a pivotal role in minimizing forklift-related accidents, primarily in construction sites. They can significantly reduce risks by creating designated zones for forklifts and pedestrians, creating a safer work environment. Adequate lighting and removing obstructions are also key factors. Additionally, employers are responsible for educating forklift operators and construction workers about safety practices, such as the dangers of walking under a forklift carrying a heavy load. By limiting narrow aisles and implementing strict safety protocols in line with OSHA guidelines, employers can help prevent serious injuries and uphold a commitment to workplace safety.
