National Forklift Safety Day 2025

Here at Key Performance Training, we try to increase the standards of operating Manually Handling Equipment (MHE) in the UK by offering high quality operator training, so we are naturally delighted to support another National Forklift Safety Day on Tuesday 10th June 2025.

Regarded as one of the UK material handling sector’s leading safety initiatives, National Forklift Safety Day (NFSD) highlights best practice for MHE use to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure safe workplaces for everyone.

This year’s campaign is focussing on the emotional impact a serious accident can have on the people involved, be they friends and family or colleagues and co-workers.

Such incidents can have profound effects, often life-changing, and by recognising the human cost of such events, the UKMHA is committed to getting employers and employees to prioritise safety at work.

But they are also highlighting 3 top tips that we urge all employers, operators and those who work around MHE to think about every day when they move around forklifts.

A Painted Line Isn’t Enough

Unbuckled? Are you ready for the fallout?

Is your PPE going unused?

To properly protect those who have to walk around MHE, the safest barriers are physical ones.

If your forklift trucks have seatbelts fitted – use them.  They may save your life in the event of an accident.

PPE is provided to keep you and others safe, so don’t leave it on the peg.

While the initiative’s theme evolves each year, its core aim remains the same: to make every day National Forklift Safety Day.

Ensure your staff are properly trained, with one of our regulated RTITB accredited courses
