Forklift Pedestrian Safety for Operators
Click on the boxes on the right-hand side
of this page for more information.
When employees are driving a forklift, they are using a piece of equipment that can weigh three times more than a car… and if there's an accident, they could end up being seriously injured, even killed.
But they aren't the only ones who need to be protected from harm. People are constantly moving around their facility on foot to get to where they need to go… and if pedestrians and forklift operators don't work together to share their space safely, it can lead to big problems.
By using safe work practices, forklift operators can help to prevent forklift accidents involving pedestrians… and get everyone home safe at the end of the day.
MARCOM's Video On Demand (VOD) program on "Forklift Pedestrian Safety: for Operators" gives employees the information they need to operate a forklift safely in pedestrian areas, and discusses how they can stay safe when they are pedestrians themselves.
Topics covered in this course include:
- Why forklift accidents involving pedestrians occur.
- Safety precautions that facilities can take to prevent forklift pedestrian accidents.
- Preparing to drive a forklift safely around pedestrians.
- Safe work practices when operating a forklift around pedestrians.
- How forklift operators can stay safe when they are pedestrians themselves.
- …and more.
Like all MARCOM courses, this newly-updated course on "Forklift Pedestrian Safety: for Operators" uses a powerful combination of full-motion, high-definition video filmed in real world locations, along with audio, text and colorful graphics to provide the most cost-effective training available today.
The "Forklift Pedestrian Safety: for Operators " Micro-Learning curriculum includes the following five 3-5 minute courses:
- "Why Forklift Accidents Happen"
- "General Safety Precautions"
- "Preparing to Drive a Forklift"
- "Best Practices for Driving"
- "Staying Safe as a Pedestrian"
The English version of this course is currently available online in Full-Length Interactive, "Adaptive Learning" and Micro-Learning formats as well as Video On Demand (VOD) for streaming over the internet, and a DVD that can be played locally at your facility. Spanish versions of the course will be available soon.

Adaptive Learning
“Adaptive Learning” takes advantage of an employee’s existing knowledge to create training courses that are customized for that employee, and don’t “reteach” them things that they already know. In other words, the Adaptive Learning process determines what an employee already knows about a topic, then structures courses that contain only the information that the employee needs to complete their knowledge of the topic.
These individually customized courses eliminate the largest employee complaint about safety training (“I already know most of this stuff, so why do I have to go through this training again?!”), while potentially recapturing thousands of hours of lost productivity.
MARCOM’s Adaptive Learning courses test employees before they take the course. Then based on the questions that they answer correctly, the course itself determines if the employee knows enough about the information in each chapter in the course to “test out” of that chapter… and if they do, automatically reconfigures the course to skip those chapters.
Reconfiguring the courses in this way typically saves about 50% of an employee’s time in taking a course. Over a year’s time this can recapture a significant amount of lost productivity time for a company of any size, and result in hundreds of thousands of dollars of annual savings.
