We don't often read about women in forklifts, but this week's report on the Chesapeake Forklift Safety Rodeo shows that females are indeed making a contribution. Donna Young from Random House, one of three female contestants in the event, ranked seventh in the individual contest and posted one of the top course scores. It says something about the equality of the industry that women competed tyne-to-tyne against their male counterparts and weren't forced to participate in their own league. Surely, we'll be seeing more and more women as the safety contest phenomenon gains momentum. In case you didn't notice, forkliftaction.com is a sponsor of all the major contests and we would be happy to hear about any new events, anywhere in the world.
