Yes No N/A

Floor Markings and Traffic Direction

Pedestrian walkways clearly marked and continuous critical (required)

Walkway lines are visible, continuous, and guide pedestrians away from forklift travel lanes.

Yes No N/A

Forklift travel lanes clearly marked critical (required)

Forklift lanes are visible and distinguishable from pedestrian routes throughout the area.

Yes No N/A

Floor markings are legible, intact, and not obscured critical (required)

Markings are not faded, peeling, blocked by pallets, or hidden by debris or stored materials.

Yes No N/A

Restricted or no-go zones marked where forklift-pedestrian separation is required critical (required)

Hazard zones, blind corners, dock edges, and loading areas are marked to prevent pedestrian entry.

Yes No N/A

Marking condition rating

Rate the overall condition and visibility of floor markings in this area.

Physical Barriers and Separation Controls

Physical barriers installed where separation is required critical (required)

Guardrails, bollards, chain barriers, or equivalent controls are present in high-risk mixed-traffic areas.

Yes No N/A

Barriers are intact, secure, and not bypassed critical (required)

Barriers are free of damage, properly anchored, and not routinely crossed, moved, or defeated.

Yes No N/A

Barrier openings are controlled and limited to authorized access critical (required)

Any gates or openings are used only for authorized pedestrian or material movement and are closed when not in use.

Yes No N/A

Barriers provide adequate protection at blind corners and dock edges critical (required)

Protection is present where visibility is limited or where a pedestrian could be exposed to moving equipment.

Yes No N/A

Barrier condition rating

Rate the overall condition, placement, and effectiveness of physical separation controls.

Crossings, Intersections, and Visibility

Designated pedestrian crossings present at required locations critical (required)

Crossings are provided where pedestrians must cross forklift routes, such as aisle intersections or dock access points.

Yes No N/A

Crossings are clearly marked and easy to identify critical (required)

Crosswalks, stop lines, or directional indicators are visible and distinguish crossing points from travel lanes.

Yes No N/A

Sightlines at intersections and corners are unobstructed critical (required)

Racks, pallets, product, shrink wrap, or equipment do not block visibility for operators or pedestrians.

Yes No N/A

Crossing controls are used consistently by pedestrians and forklift operators critical (required)

Observed behavior supports the posted traffic pattern, including stopping, yielding, or using designated crossing points.

Yes No N/A

Visibility at crossings rating

Rate how well the crossing design supports safe interaction between pedestrians and forklifts.

Safety Signage, Rules, and Communication

Forklift warning signs posted where pedestrians enter traffic areas critical (required)

Signs warn of powered industrial truck traffic at entrances, crossings, and shared-use areas.

Yes No N/A

Pedestrian instruction signs posted and legible critical (required)

Signs instruct pedestrians to use designated routes, crossings, or restricted access points as applicable.

Yes No N/A

Traffic-control signs are unobstructed and readable critical (required)

Signs are not blocked by product, equipment, dust, glare, or poor placement.

Yes No N/A

Area rules and right-of-way expectations are communicated to workers

Workers appear aware of local traffic rules, including pedestrian priority or stop-and-yield requirements where posted.

Yes No N/A

Signage adequacy rating

Rate the overall adequacy of signage and communication controls in the inspected area.

Housekeeping, Obstructions, and Corrective Actions

Aisles, crossings, and pedestrian paths are free of obstructions critical (required)

No pallets, trash, tools, cords, or stored materials block the intended separation or force pedestrians into forklift lanes.

Yes No N/A

Temporary changes to traffic flow are controlled and communicated critical (required)

If routes are altered due to maintenance, staging, or construction, temporary controls are in place and communicated.

Yes No N/A

Deficiencies documented with corrective actions critical (required)

List any deficiencies, non-conformances, corrective actions, responsible person, and target completion date.

Follow-up required

Select the follow-up status for identified issues.
