Global Lifting Awareness Day #GLAD2023 is to be held on 13th July 2023, the fourth year this will be held.
Manufacturers, suppliers and end users of lifting equipment come together to promote safe and high quality load lifting using the hashtag #GLAD2023.
LEEA’s Role in Promoting Lifting Awareness
The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) organises the event, and will be uploading new content to the website – www.globalliftingawarenessday.com. Information regarding the industry will be posted, and those passionate about the lifting industry should share their enthusiasm to promote to younger generations.
Ross Moloney, CEO at LEEA, said: “There’s an energy building behind plans for this year’s Global Lifting Awareness Day that suggest it will be the most widely supported and impactful ever. The concept has successfully spanned the Covid era, reiterating the fact that lifting remains both ubiquitous and essential in keeping all kinds of operations going, irrespective of pandemics and economic conditions.”
He added: “Fighting gravity is inherently dangerous and getting it wrong can lead to accident, injury, and even fatality. That makes it an extremely important, challenging, and rewarding sector to work in, which is just one of the messages we’re encouraging people to promote.”
The Goal of #GLAD2023
#GLAD2023 is a powerful movement to share the heavy lifting environment and promote the industry in which we work.
