Write a factual near-miss report without assigning blame

Instruction: Give a brief report and explain how you would distinguish observations, uncertainty, and follow-up.

Context:

At 10:12, beside crossing C2, you see a pedestrian step backward as a forklift passes. You do not see contact or an injury. A stack of empty totes blocks part of the view. You cannot estimate the separation or the forklift's speed. Your coworker says, “The driver was definitely speeding,” but you did not observe a speed display.

The lead has acknowledged your radio report and requested a written near-miss record. No assessment of the crossing has yet been completed.
