National Forklift Safety Day – June 14, 2022
June 14th is National Forklift Safety Day. This annual event was established to raise awareness of forklift safety.
The National Safety Council reports that in 2020 there were 7,290 forklift related injuries and 78 fatalities in the United States. This grim report underscores the importance of forklift safety. Sadly, the fatalities are often from operator misuse and could have been prevented.
