National Forklift Safety Day, June 8, calls attention to the importance of forklift operator safety training and forklift safety practices. The annual event, sponsored by the Industrial Truck Association (ITA), includes presentations from government representatives, safety experts and industry representatives, in a virtual format again this year.

The Atlantic hurricane season that began June 1 and continues through November is expected to be above normal in storm activity, although not as record-breaking as in 2020. Forecasters at the Climate Prediction Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predict a 60% chance of a hurricane season above normal in the number of storms.
