Global Lifting Awareness Day kicks off July 13

LONDON, U.K. — This year’s Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) will take place July 13.

It will kick-off with an event at U.K. Parliament on the eve of #GLAD2023 and lead to a packed program of content, delivered by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA).

Now in its fourth year, #GLAD2023 harnesses the power of social media to promote videos, articles and in-person activity. Information about apprenticeships, military recruitment, diversity, sustainability and technology is posted on https://globalliftingawarenessday.com.

Anyone with a stake in the industry can help, from individuals to the largest corporations, by participating on social media using the hashtag and sharing the rallying call, “We promote safe lifting, so we support GLAD” or holding in-person and digital events, indicates a release.

LEEA has announced a program of events which includes webinars on the nuclear industry and accredited training; the official launch of a new Supporting Structures training course and LEEA Connect app 2.0; and a Digital Roundtable that will discuss the future of the industry. There will also be a guidance video on BS 7121 standards and an update from LEEA’s Technical Forum.

LEEA will reiterate education about supporting structures in the lifting industry is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient movement of heavy loads, assessing structural integrity, complying with regulations and effectively managing risks associated with lifting operations, adds the release.
