About the Design 4 Safety Awards
The Design 4 Safety Awards were created by IMHX owners BITA (the British Industrial Truck Association) and Quartz Publishing & Exhibitions Ltd., to highlight the importance of safety product design features in helping to ensure safe materials handling operations.
James Clark, Secretary-General of BITA, said: "I'm delighted that so many show visitors took the time to cast their vote for a 'Popular Winner' in the inaugural Design 4 Safety Awards. We named this category 'The Professionals' Choice' to reflect the breadth and depth of operational logistics expertise possessed by those who visited the show. We congratulate Toyota on their good fortune in this final stage of the Awards, while also reiterating our good wishes to all three of the other Specialist Winners (Cooper SH, Sentry Protection Products and Transdek) announced at our Awards ceremony on Tuesday."
