Mike here in the US using fork lifts to lift personal is fairly common and is OK with OSHA with a properly designed and used cage.
This applies to standard straight mast forklifts.
All terrain telescoping forklifts (Lulls) are not to be used as personal lifts with or without the cage.
I have been carted around on a fork lift quite a bit, anyone that drives the machine on a regular basis can usually drive it well enough to keep it smooth.
I'll tell you this, I liked being in a cage on a forklift better than hanging from a cage on a crane.
I am really sorry this person was killed, there is no excuse for standing on a pallet and getting driven around.
BTW here in the US a professionally made cage can be had for less than $400.00
