Getting hit by a vehicle at at work is a common accident, and one that can be devastating! While some jobs are more dangerous than others, no matter what job you do, or where you work, you can get hit by a vehicle just walking to or from work.
People get killed every day walking through parking lots or simply crossing the street. Taking the right protective actions protects lives.
This safety training video talks about protective measures you can take to avoid fatal stuck-by vehicle accidents.
You do not know if the vehicle operator's vision is obstructed or if the operator is distracted, so the only protection you, as a pedestrian, has, is your own actions.
Weather, vehicle conditions and many other factors affect vehicle operation. Lighting, roadway condition and traffic also affect operation.
As a pedestrian, your best preventive measure is to be extra vigilant and aware of the hazards where you are walking or working.
Construction vehicles, cars, trucks, forklifts and other motorized machinery pose hazards to all pedestrians. Stay alert - don't get hurt!
