Segregating forklift traffic lanes (FLTs) and workers in the warehouse could reduce costs in several ways: (1) It would lower product damage costs and economic losses from collisions between FLTs and workers; (2) Reduce medical treatment, compensation, and salary costs for injured employees; (3) Cut hiring, training, and turnover costs associated with replacing injured workers. Not segregating could lead to higher penalties, reputational damage from frequent accidents, and even business closure in serious cases.
