Forklift manufacturers in the United States will mark National Forklift Safety Day on June 12, with events in Washington DC and at factories and dealerships around the country.

Obviously, commemorations like these are important, but creating a persistent atmosphere of vigilance and consideration is essential to ensure ongoing safety.
So, in the words of a long-forgotten TV cop many years ago, "let's be careful out there!"
