Raymond Corporation’s National Forklift Safety Day event will take place virtually on June 8 at 9 a.m.

June 8 marks the 8th annual National Forklift Safety Day, drawing attention to the importance of training programs and their necessity for successful operations.

This year’s National Forklift Safety Day Chair, Michael Field, President and CEO, The Raymond Corporation, will speak on how operations can use intelligent warehouse solutions to train operators and pedestrians in a warehouse setting.

“Whether you’re bringing on new workers, reassigning responsibilities or adjusting processes to keep up with demand, education is vital to an operation,” said Field. “Raymond is committed to helping operations foster a culture of safety and continuous improvement through the optimization of data, people and processes that help maximize efficiency and reinforce training.”

Raymond’s Vice-President of Customer Solutions and Support Dave Norton will discuss how next generation learning technologies, like virtual reality, help educate lift truck operators and pedestrians on practices in material handling environments.
