It’s the sixth annual National Forklift Safety Day, designated as such by The Industrial Truck Association (ITA), which uses it as an opportunity for the industry to educate customers, policymakers, and government officials about the safe use of forklifts and the importance of proper operator training.
In addition to a gathering in Washington, D.C. that will feature speakers from both industry and government, there’ll also be events around the country at which forklift manufacturers and dealers will enhance awareness of safe practices in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and other environments where forklifts are in use.
