For teams with drivers on the road, staying alert is critical:
• A hail WATCH means conditions are favorable
• A hail WARNING means hail is occurring or imminent

If a hail storm strikes:
• Seek shelter right away
• If driving, pull over safely and find cover if possible
• Avoid going outside until the storm has passed

Forklifts are essential on many job sites, but they also come with serious risks.

On this Forklift Safety Day, we’re emphasizing a few core practices to help keep operators and teams safe:

➡️Perform daily equipment checks and report issues immediately
➡️Keep loads stable, low, and within capacity
➡️Never raise or lower loads while moving
➡️Drive cautiously—slow down at corners, blind spots, and uneven surfaces
➡️Always wear a seatbelt and stay alert to your surroundings
➡️Give pedestrians the right of way, every time

Safe operation protects not just the operator, but everyone on site.
