June 13th is National Forklift Safety Day

The 10th Anniversary National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) 2023 events will take place on June 12 & 13, 2023, in Washington, DC, sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA). The ITA is a leading organization of industrial truck manufacturers and suppliers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and has been in operation for over 70 years. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the ITA focuses on fostering communication and collaboration among its members, global associations, and the industry as a whole through social media, publications, and events such as National Forklift Safety Day. The goal is to help businesses develop effective programs, resources, and leadership, as well as participating in the establishment of international standards for the industry.

The ITA plays a significant role in advancing engineering practices to ensure the production of safe products, sharing statistical marketplace information, and facilitating industry forums for learning and networking through its close collaboration with OSHA in events like this. This National Forklift Safety Day will cover a ton of different topics to keep those operating Forklifts or in close proximity to an operating forklift safe on the job. Topics will include: Economic Outlook, OSHA Updates, and an overview of current congressional activity. There will also be remarks and a panel of some esteemed members of the ITA, Hyster-Yale Group, OSHA, and TEAM Industrial Services. There is no better time for people to learn about forklift safety and how to keep your team safe and in compliance than National Forklift Safety Day and conference.
