The US’ Industrial Truck Association’s (ITA) 13th annual National Forklift Safety Day, will be held as a hybrid event this year on Tuesday, June 9 with the in-person event held at the National Press Club in Washington.

“ITA is proud to host the 13th National Forklift Safety Day and to reaffirm our industry's commitment to safety,” says Brian Feehan, president of ITA. 

“As our industry continues to evolve, the importance of comprehensive forklift operator training and a strong safety culture has never been greater. National Forklift Safety Day serves as an important reminder — and a call to action — to keep safety at the forefront of our operations every day, year after year.”

The National Forklift Safety Day 2026 will continue with the format or previous years and will include presentations from government representatives, safety experts and industry leaders, allowing for the sharing of insights, reinforcing best practices and advancing the collective commitment to forklift safety.
