LEEA Announces Sector-Focused Webinar Series

The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) has scheduled a series of free, sector-specific webinars to be held on Zoom throughout 2022. Each webinar will be geared toward end-users in the relevant sector and will run for approximately one hour, split into four 15-min sessions, wrapping up with a Q&A session. Delving into sector-specific safety issues and best practices surrounding lifting, the webinars aim to start conversations between LEEA members and end users, particularly those further up the supply chain. Two guest industry speakers, with expertise in the relevant sectors, will join a duo of LEEA presenters for each webinar. LEEA’s webinar series will kick off with the Oil and Gas sector event on April 28. Lifting equipment plays an essential role in oil and gas operations of all kinds but the consequences of non-compliance in relation to lifting can result in severe consequences beyond handicapping a company’s progress: an accident, a visit from health and safety inspectors and, ultimately, punishment. It is vital that company managers are educated about their responsibilities. Subsequent events include the Entertainment Section on July 7, the Renewables Sector on September 21, and the Lift & Escalator Sector, which will be a joint LEEA/LEIA (Lift and Escalator Industry Association) presentation, on November 23.
