Always ensure induction is being given to the crew/visitor working in the yard. Always ensure your FLT operator is aware of the hazards at site. Banksman! Always be visible to plant operators.
The FLT operator reversed on a long distance instead of making U-turn and move forward. The lack of adequate supervision during such long-distance reversing. No intervention by those involved during such a situation when supervision is inadequate. The positioning of banksman was not accurate as he did not have 360° view during signaling.
