On Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) 12th June 2025, Bunzl Safety & Lifting proudly joins lifting professionals around the world in recognising the critical role of safe lifting practices and the skilled individuals who uphold them.

Organised by Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), GLAD is a global initiative focused on three essential goals:

  • Addressing the growing skills shortage in the lifting industry
  • Promoting safe lifting awareness and practices
  • Inspiring the next generation to pursue careers in lifting

These goals align closely with our core values at Bunzl Safety & Lifting, where safety, professionalism, and innovation guide everything we do.

Why GLAD Matters: Safety, Skills, and the Future of Lifting

In high-risk industries like construction, energy, logistics, and manufacturing, lifting equipment is only as safe as the hands and eyes responsible for it. Competent, qualified professionals are not just a preference; they are a necessity.

As the lifting industry continues to evolve with technology and demand, it faces a pressing challenge: a shortage of trained and certified professionals. GLAD exists to spotlight this challenge, call for action, and encourage long-term investment in training, safety culture, and workforce development.

At Bunzl Safety & Lifting, we echo this call – not just on GLAD, but every day.
