HUNTINGDON, U.K. — The fifth Global Lifting Awareness Day, #GLAD2024, will take place on Thursday, July 18.

Organized by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) and supporting organizations, manufacturers, suppliers and end users share material promoting safe and high-quality load lifting including social media posts, videos, articles and in-person activity. This year features a new logo and the hashtag, #GLAD2024.

The new logo moves away from the previous version that centered on a hook, towards a graphic that focusses more on the title of the awareness event, states a release, adding the text is built around the gantry element of so many cranes and lifting technologies.

LEEA has consciously pivoted, putting the main focus on GLAD rather than a particular component or piece of equipment, reiterating that #GLAD2024 is for everyone.

LEEA is encouraging its members, end users and everyone in between to contribute by using the graphic and hashtag to celebrate their involvement with the industry and promote it.

“LEEA’s vision is to reduce all accidents, injuries, and fatalities within the lifting industry to zero, and we have various initiatives in place to achieve this,” said Ross Moloney, CEO at LEEA, in a statement. “The fundamental tool in all these initiatives is knowledge transfer, enabling CPD, and raising standards of practise. The way by which LEEA provides access to and disseminates knowledge, is through vehicles such as our online training platform, technical triage, Chatbot, guidance documents, and other resources.”
