Regarded as one of the material handling industry’s most important safety initiatives, National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) aims to emphasise best practices for MHE use to ensure safe workplaces for everyone.
Supported by the strapline “A painted line isn’t enough”, NFSD 2025 emphasises the importance of investing in robust segregation measures in work environments where MHE is routinely used. It also focuses on the emotional impact of MHE incidents, particularly on the loved ones of accident victims.
To help spread these key messages far and wide, we have released a range of vital resources and downloadable digital assets. In doing so, we strive to accomplish our central mission to make every day National Forklift Safety Day.
Our brand-new MHE Incident Reporting Portal is the industry’s first dedicated platform for collecting information about accidents involving MHE. It is open to everyone working in the sector.
