Safety Share: Improving Visibility at Blind Corners

Forklifts are essential in many workplaces, but limited visibility at blind corners can create serious hazards when operators and pedestrians share the same space.


To address this risk, a Saskatchewan employer installed proximity sensors that trigger flashing warning lights when a forklift or pedestrian approaches an intersection. The visual alert helps workers recognize potential hazards before entering the area.


The result was a simple but effective improvement that enhanced visibility, increased hazard awareness, and helped reduce the risk of forklift-related collisions.
