On National Forklift Safety Day, the Industrial Truck Association (ITA) gathers experts and stakeholders to emphasize the critical importance of forklift operator training, promote greater pedestrian awareness, and share resources about safe practices in industries that use this indispensable material handling equipment.

This year’s program, the 8th annual event, will be held on June 8. While the COVID-19 virus does not allow for the usual gathering in Washington, D.C., the lift truck industry’s strong commitment to safety and education has not changed. In light of that commitment, National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) 2021 will be offered as a virtual event.

NFSD 2021, open to industry professionals at no charge, will include video of speakers and webinar-style presentations. The presentations will begin on June 8 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, and the program will conclude at approximately 10:45 a.m. To attend NFSD 2021, register in advance through ITA’s website or DC Velocity’s website. Viewers are invited to submit questions in advance through the registration page.

The National Forklift Safety Day 2021 speakers and their topics include:
  • Brian Feehan, President, Industrial Truck Association—Moderator
  • Jay Gusler, Executive Vice President of Operations, Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas—Welcome and Overview 
  • James Frederick, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)—OSHA Updates and Resources

The following speakers will discuss forklift safety in their respective industries:
  • Tony Sciarotta, Executive Director and Director, Reverse Logistics Association (RLA)
  • Jess Dankert, Vice President for Supply Chain, Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA)
  • Michael G. Field, President and CEO, The Raymond Corporation, and Chair, National Forklift Safety Day
The speakers’ full bios can be found on the event registration page.
