    Never ever EVER walk under a forklifts raised load (the pallet it’s carrying).

    Things can fall from it, the hydraulics can giveway, the operator may not see you and lower it on you.

    Especially an ‘order picker’ as the operator can not see under them.

      Really apply this to almost any suspended load. Don’t walk under loads that are mechanically or hydraulically suspended, there are many ways that the load can fall and crush you.
