A forklift and pedestrian interaction monitoring system records each time a forklift and a person come within a set distance of each other, with the time, location, truck speed and how close they came. It uses the same detection as a warning system, cameras or wearable tags, but its purpose is measurement: counting close interactions shows where and when exposure is highest before anyone is hurt. Safety teams use the counts to redesign routes, move crossings, adjust shift patterns and target coaching, and then to check whether those changes reduced exposure.
Interaction counts are a leading indicator, the kind of measure OSHA encourages employers to track alongside injury records. To compare areas or sites, divide counts by operating hours and keep warning distances identical everywhere, since a wider setting records more events.
Check whether the system logs events involving untagged people, how location is resolved (zone, dock door, aisle), whether video clips are attached and how privacy is handled. Forklift near miss reporting explains how recorded and reported events fit together, and Forklift safety dashboards covers how teams present the data.
