As part of its commitment to raising safety standards across the materials handling industry, the British Industrial Truck Association (BITA) is once again championing the cause of National Forklift Safety Day – with a new theme for 2020. National Forklift Safety Day focuses on raising awareness of safe working practices with all users of materials handling equipment.
The key message for 2020 is that Management is responsible for segregating pedestrians from Materials Handling equipment. This is best achieved by physical barriers, but the importance of traffic planning, route marking and effective information delivery is also emphasised.
Established six years ago by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA) in the USA, National Forklift Safety Day is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of the safe use of forklifts and the importance of proper operator training
