A worker is trying to load four H-section steel beams (12m) onto a truck using a forklift.
A guide worker is waiting on the bed of the truck.
Can you predict what's about to happen?
Look what happened!
The H-section steel suddenly slipped, causing both the guide worker and the H-section steel to fall off the truck. The worker was pinned beneath the beams.
Tips for preventing similar accidents

3.
Operators should follow the instructions of guide workers when loading objects.
