Forklift and pedestrian accidents are more common than you think
OSHA estimates roughly 85 to 100 forklift-related fatalities and 34,900+ serious injuries every year in the US - and warehouses account for about 70% of all forklift-pedestrian accidents. Pedestrians make up only 20% of forklift accidents but 36% of the fatalities.
The kicker: most near-misses never get reported. Industry data puts 81% of forklift near-misses as pedestrian-proximity events - a picker stepping into a blind aisle, a forklift reversing without a clear line of sight. Nobody logs those until someone gets hurt.
A warehouse security camera network that can't tell you how close was too close is just recording the accident, not preventing it.
