🚧 National Forklift Safety Day 🚧 UKMHA
This year’s theme, Technician Safety, highlights the importance of protecting not only operators, but everyone working around material handling equipment.
“Between 2019 and 2025 UK forklift suppliers lost, on average, more than 1,000 working days per year due to workplace injuries. According to UKMHA data, 85% of these incidents occurred to forklift technicians whilst working at customers’ premises. Surprisingly, more than 20% of injuries resulting in time off work are due to manual handling failings and 30% of the incidents occur when technicians aren’t even physically working on the MHE.”
