Inspecting a fulfilling occupation
Lifting equipment keeps industry in the Middle East operating, whether it is for the established oil and gas industry, the burgeoning construction sector or in ports and logistics.
Throughout these sectors there will be a variety of cranes, hoists, platforms, cradles and their associated chains, ropes, slings and other tackle that will require pre-use checks, inspection, maintenance and thorough examination. These are described in LEEA’s COPSULE (Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Lifting Equipment). This free to download state-of- the art guide enables lifting equipment users all over the globe and across different industries to meet best practice.
Lifting Inspectors are in demand throughout the Middle East. This globally recognised occupation is certainly a fulfilling role and inspectors can find themselves working in all kinds of environments, some of which can be quite challenging.
In fact, the world of the Lifting Inspector is full of interesting opportunity. It offers travel opportunities, challenging environments and satisfying work that makes a real difference to peoples’ lives. We would encourage anybody with an interest in such things to consider this occupation.
As a safety organisation with zero accidents and injuries being our prime goal, LEEA wants end users to be reminded of how important it is to use Lifting Inspectors who have expertise and high-quality training and carry the LEEA logo. Whether it is on the in-house Lifting Inspector’s qualifications or an external service provider, the logo gives assurance of safe and expert practice when it comes to lifting equipment and services such as inspection.
