Always give up the "right-of-way" to the pedestrian. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right-of-way and if you hit them under almost any circumstances it can be found to be your fault. Best to be safe, considerate and let the pedestrian cross, even if they are not in a crosswalk.

Yield the right of way to avoid injuring them
This depends on the layout of the warehouse or factory. For example if it was a designated crossing area for a pedestrian they would have right of way.
It is a motorist's duty NOT to hit a pedestrian. It is a motorist's duty to drive at a speed where he can stop so as not to hit something in front of him. Thus the point is moot - if a pedestrian is "in the road" you should not hit him/her - you stop and give way. Imagine - "your honor I had the right of way so I drove the pedestrian down".
You must yield right of way to pedestrians period. Pedestrians have the right of way all the time. They are frequently stupid if they take it. It is frequently impossible for drivers to see them in time and stop if they step out in front of cars. Still, if you see one, you have to give the pedestrian the right of way! You are not allowed to deliberately hit a pedestrian.
In California, any driver who does not yield the right-of-way to a blind pedestrian can be charged with a misdemeanor.
You need to stop and let the pedestrian cross.
Yield the right of way to them, as they are still pedestrians.
A pedestrian must follow the same traffic signals as those in vehicles. Pedestrians have the right of way; however should always be aware of vehicles around them.
