Workers close to the forklifttruck can be injured when struck by the wheels. (source The Dutch labour (More informtion in dutch see: http://www.logistiek.nl/warehousing/heftrucks/nid8387-congres-zet-heftruck-en-ongevallen-op-de-kaart.html)



Laserlight marks the danger zone.


The light comes from under the truck and marks the dangerous zone



Put a sensor in your clothes so the forklifttruck will notice your presence.



See the laser light



Laserlight and stroboscoop light will warn the worker when driving backwards

ILO decent work

“The primary goal of the ILO today is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity.” Juan Somavia, ILO Director-General
