The right company depends on which layer of pedestrian protection you are buying. Passive separation, such as barriers, guardrails, gates and marked walkways, comes from physical safety suppliers and is the first control to put in place. Active protection, which detects people near forklifts and warns or slows compatible trucks, comes from detection-system vendors. Most large warehouses need both. When shortlisting an active-protection vendor, ask for evidence from sites like yours, the technologies offered, fit with your mixed fleet, how false alarms are handled, the data and reporting provided, and local installation and service support.
The full map of suppliers is forklift safety system vendors compared, with individual listings in the vendor directory. OSHA’s pedestrian traffic guidance starts with layout: separate walkways, designated crossings and barriers where people and trucks would otherwise mix. A detection system added to a site without that layout tends to alarm constantly.
Before inviting suppliers, write down your crossings, which staff groups could reliably carry a tag, and the outcome you want to measure. Then run a pilot in the worst zone with a defined pass mark. The provider vetting guide and the warehouse pedestrian safety program cover the questions to ask and the controls that should already be in place.
