National forklift campaign launched to improve safety
Materials handling solutions provider Combilift has launched its National Forklift Safety campaign, ‘Lift Your Standards by Lowering Your Load’, to enhance awareness and promote best practices in forklift safety across industries.
Combilift is committed to using National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) as a reminder of how forklift operations can and should be safer than ever. This year, National Forklift Safety Day falls on 11 June, and in line with this, the campaign’s key messaging throughout the month will be focused on safe forklift operating practices.
The campaign aims to emphasise the importance of maintaining a lower load height while travelling to improve visibility, stability and reduce accidents. The campaign offers comprehensive training programs to ensure that forklift operators are well equipped with the knowledge to perform their duties safely. The campaign also aims to advocate for adherence to national and international safety standards in materials handling operations.
