Nine organizations set up tables, provided information and supported the workforce all under one roof at DDNV’s Pier 8 Warehouse for the day-long event. While focused on safety and wellness, there was also music, food and of course, fun. Numerous safety related competitions were held including the Forklift Rodeo as well as Safety Jeopardy.                 The forklift rodeo was one of many events that took place at Defense Logistics Agency Distribution Norfolk, Virginia’s Health, Safety and Wellness Fair April 17, 2023.
