Any accident foreseen in this frame?

An operator worker is backing up a lift truck to make a 90-degree turn after loading in a parts warehouse. Meanwhile another worker A is walking along the isle. He heard the backup buzzer sound to tell a lift truck was backing up, but he thinks it is still far away and keeps walking, taking little heed to the movement of the lift truck. Now what accident do you foreseen occurring in this frame?

This is the accident resulted!

The worker A, who did not stop and wait, though he heard the warning buzzer sound, was hit from behind by the lift truck, whose operator failed to thoroughly check rearward, and got a leg injured.

Tips for forestalling similar accidents
1.	Provide a sidewalk exclusively for pedestrians along the isles and see that they walk on the sidewalk without fail.
2.	If a worker is obliged to step in the area where a lift truck is operated, he/she will caution the operator and both parties will confirm mutual safety.
3.	A lift truck operator will check safety in the traveling direction in advance.
