A coil of steel plating is being transported on the fork of a forklift through a factory.
A worker is walking nearby in the safety path using a cell phone.
Can you predict what's about to happen?
Look what happened!
The forklift operator panicked and slammed on the brakes when the worker suddenly stepped outside the lines of the safety path. This caused the coiled steel plating to fall off the front of the forklift and tumble into the walking worker.
Tips for preventing similar accidents
1.

2.
Use a ram lift or other designated attachment to transport coils.
3.
Find a safe location, and refrain from walking while using a cell phone, at a work site.
4.
Ensure that all workers know never to step outside of the safety path.
