Introduction
A work environment that involves the use of a forklift is full of potential risks and requires special attention to safety.Forklifts, as a means of transportation used to lift and move heavy goods, have an important role in operational efficiency in various industrial sectors.However, the presence of a forklift can also pose a serious risk of accidents, both for the forklift driver himself and the people around him.Safety in the work environment is a top priority, and in the context of forklift use, success in maintaining safety depends on factors such as effective communication and accurate detection of forklift presence.Lack of effective communication between forklift drivers and the people around them is often the main cause of accidents.Apart from that, the ability to detect the presence of a forklift quickly and accurately is also an important factor in preventing the risk of accidents.To improve safety in work environments involving forklifts, the use of voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems is emerging as an attractive solution.Voice recognition technology allows the forklift to recognize verbal instructions given by the driver with high accuracy, while a simple visual warning system uses color indicator lights to provide clear information about the presence of the forklift and the direction of its movement to those nearby.Implementing voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts can provide significant benefits.With voice recognition technology, forklift drivers can communicate more effectively with those around them, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents.In addition, a simple visual warning system provides easily understandable information visually to people nearby, allowing them to take appropriate preventive measures.In this context, this research will investigate the use of voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts to improve communication and safety in the work environment.Through this research, it is hoped that an effective solution can be found to improve communication between forklift drivers and the people around them, as well as detect the presence of forklifts more accurately, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents in the work environment.In the context of using voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts to detect the presence of forklifts and improve communication as well safety of people around and the work environment, there are several problems that need to be solved, namely: 1.How can voice recognition technology be implemented in forklifts to recognize verbal instructions given by the driver with high accuracy and reliability?2. How can a simple visual warning system be designed and integrated into a forklift to provide clear and easy-to-understand information to people nearby regarding the presence of the forklift and its direction of movement?3. How effective is the use of voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems in improving communication between forklift drivers and those around them in risky work environments?4. To what extent can the use of this technology contribute to improving the safety of people around and the work environment involving forklifts, as well as reducing the risk of accidents caused by a lack of effective communication? 5. How do drivers and bystanders react to the use of voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts?Can this technology be widely accepted and adopted in work environments involving forklifts?In this research, we will seek answers to the questions above through system prototype implementation, testing, and performance evaluation.In this way, it is hoped that an effective solution can be found in improving communication and safety in the work environment with the use of forklifts, as well as reducing the risk of accidents that can occur due to a lack of effective communication between forklift drivers and the people around them.

Literatur Review
Work environments that involve the use of forklifts require special attention to safety to maintain the welfare and safety of workers and visitors.Forklifts, as transportation equipment commonly used in various industrial sectors, have a significant role in operational efficiency.However, the presence of a forklift also poses a serious risk of accidents.Therefore, research and development of innovative solutions are needed to improve communication and safety in work environments involving forklifts.In previous literature, Hämäläinen and Kines (2019) emphasized the importance of effective safety In this discussion, several important points will be discussed regarding the implementation and benefits of using this technology.

Voice Recognition Technology on Forklifts:
Voice recognition technology allows forklifts to recognize verbal instructions given by the driver with high accuracy.In its application, forklifts are equipped with microphones and voice recognition algorithms that can identify commands given by the driver.Then, the forklift will respond to the instructions by taking appropriate actions.The use of voice recognition technology on forklifts can improve communication between the driver and those around him, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents due to ignorance or lack of coordination.

Simple Visual Warning System on Forklifts:
Simple visual warning systems can be designed and integrated on forklifts to provide clear, easy-tounderstand information to those around them regarding the presence of the forklift and the direction of its movement.This system uses color indicator lights or other visual signs located on the front, back, and sides of the forklift.When a forklift is in motion or when there are people nearby, the visual warning system will provide an easily visible indication of the presence and direction of the forklift's movement.This helps reduce the risk of accidents and allows bystanders to take appropriate precautions.

Benefits of Using Voice Recognition Technology and Visual Warning Systems on Forklifts:
Using voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts provides significant benefits in improving communication and safety in the work environment.With voice recognition technology, forklift drivers can communicate more effectively with those around them, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents.Meanwhile, visual warning systems provide easy-to-understand information visually to people nearby, enabling them to take appropriate preventive measures.The combination of these two technologies can create a safer work environment, reduce the risk of accidents, and increase productivity.

Technology Implementation and Adoption:
Implementing voice recognition technology and visual warning systems on forklifts requires careful planning, including selecting the right hardware and software, integration with existing forklift systems, and training of drivers and other workers in the work environment.Additionally, it is important to consider factors such as implementation costs, technology availability, and compliance with applicable safety regulations.Adoption of this technology also needs to be supported by awareness and acceptance from forklift drivers, company management, and other workers.Overall, the use of voice recognition technology and simple visual warning systems on forklifts can make a significant contribution to improving communication and safety in the work environment.Through proper implementation and widespread adoption, this technology can reduce the risk of accidents, increase operational efficiency, and create a safer and more productive work environment.Goods that are placed or stacked too high, the forklift hits the goods Apply standard height limits for goods allowed to be stacked, apply distance standards between goods by providing lines on the stacking blocks.
