Bollard you say? Thank God this wasn’t someone’s leg. And then a week later someone runs over it again. We can’t get decent forklift drivers.

Shouldn't be any pedestrians in an FLT area, so that risk has been eliminated? Consider the process layout so reducing chance of coming into contact with a bollard that is on its own and protruding? Different barrier types? Relying on employee discipline is bottom the list of considerations as the most difficult to control. How would the operators improve matters?

I took a quick trip into my local Tesco yesterday and it nearly developed into a trip to A&E. Just as I passed through the first set of doors a woman heading towards me on a mobility scooter ploughed into the second set via a sandwich-board and a metal bollard. The bollard was set into the ground and flipped up a few floor tiles in the process. She was upset but not injured. I don’t know what power the motors on those things put out but it wasn’t travelling fast and it took some stopping. I don’t think it would have hesitated to steam-roller me into the door mat.
