How can pedestrians reduce the risk of forklift accidents?

Wearing reflective clothing significantly contributes to reducing the risk of forklift accidents involving pedestrians. Reflective clothing increases visibility in the workplace, especially in environments where forklifts operate. This heightened visibility helps forklift operators spot pedestrians more easily, particularly in low-light conditions or busy warehouse settings where visibility may be obstructed.

The other options would not effectively contribute to pedestrian safety. Walking behind a forklift increases the risk of accidents, as operators may not be aware of individuals in that area. Avoiding eye contact with operators can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of intentions, which can heighten the chance of accidents. Lastly, standing in the operator's blind spot is particularly dangerous because it means the operator cannot see the pedestrian, increasing the likelihood of an accident occurring.
