Traffic & Pedestrian Safety Assessments
Forklifts and foot traffic sharing the same floor is one of the most common sources of serious injury in industrial facilities. Most of the risk sits at a handful of predictable points. We walk your facility, find them, and hand you a plan to fix them.

How It Works
A walk of your facility, ranked by risk — not a desk review.
Every conflict point we find gets ranked the same way: severity if something goes wrong, weighed against how likely and how often it happens. That's the triangle underneath every hazard assessment — severity, likelihood, and exposure together, not just "does this look dangerous." It's what turns a list of blind corners into a prioritized plan instead of an undifferentiated wall of findings.
What We Look For
The categories every walk covers.
Corners & Sightlines
- Blind corners at racks, walls, doorways
- Mirror placement and condition
Layout & Obstacles
- Storage encroaching on marked aisles
- Pinch points and narrowed aisles
Vehicle Traffic
- Forklifts, order pickers, pallet jacks
- Delivery and freight vehicles
Pedestrian Traffic
- Foot traffic patterns and volume
- Visitor and non-operations staff routes
Physical Controls
- Barriers, bollards, guardrails
- Whether they're placed where risk actually is
Signage & Markings
- Painted walkways and speed zones
- Condition, visibility, and whether they're followed
Every Recommendation Follows the Hierarchy of Controls
We don't lead with signage. We lead with removing the conflict entirely — and work down from there only when the top of the hierarchy isn't feasible.
Physical separation
Barriers, bollards, and dedicated corridors that keep vehicles and pedestrians out of the same space entirely — the hazard is designed out, not managed around.
Redesigned routes
Widened aisles, relocated storage, mirrors at blind intersections — eliminating the conflict, not just flagging it.
Traffic rules
Speed limits, right-of-way, horn-at-corners — effective, but dependent on compliance every time, by everyone, on every pass.
Signage & awareness
Striping and warning signs — necessary where nothing higher on the hierarchy is feasible, but the least reliable control on its own.

Schedule a Facility WalkWhy This Gets Overlooked
Layouts drift. Risk builds the same way — quietly.
Layouts drift without a decision
New racking, a temporary staging area that becomes permanent — nothing feels like a hazard call, but together they create conflict points nobody approved.
Training doesn't fix a bad layout
A well-trained operator still can't see through a blind corner. Layout hazards need layout solutions, not more coaching.
Near misses go unreported
A pedestrian stepping back at the last second gets treated as normal, not as data — until a walk-through surfaces the pattern.
Common Questions
What facility managers ask before scheduling.
How is this different from forklift operator training?
Training addresses how people drive. This addresses the layout they're driving through — a well-trained operator still can't see through a blind corner.
What triggers the need for an assessment?
A near miss, a recent layout change, new equipment, growing pedestrian traffic, or never having had one done.
Does this satisfy a specific Cal/OSHA requirement?
It supports several overlapping obligations — powered industrial truck rules under 8 CCR §3650, aisle requirements, and your IIPP's hazard identification duty — rather than checking one box.
How long does a facility walk take?
Most single-site assessments are one visit, timed to your highest-traffic shift.
What's in the final report?
Documented conflict points with photos, a risk ranking, and recommended controls — layout and separation first, signage where those aren't feasible.
