Pedestrians distracted by mobile devices are putting themselves and others at risk, from the individual who fell onto train tracks while on his cell phone to the distracted driver who kills a pedestrian.
So now let’s look at distracted pedestrians in warehouses- combined with forklifts that often weigh more than 2 or 3 cars, take longer to stop than cars and have huge blind spots for the operator – it’s always going to be a no win situation for the dumbo who is texting, talking, or whatever on their mobile device while at work around forklifts.
It’s like walking around blindfolded – don’t do it.
