Nuclear powered GLAD
On Thursday 13th July – Global Lifting Awareness Day – LEEA will be hosting a Nuclear Lifting webinar. This will be the latest in its series of free-to-view, sector-specific webinars, continuing the Association’s commitment to raising global awareness of the challenges involved in working within the Lifting Industry.
You are invited to join the conversation between LEEA members and Nuclear industry managers on Wednesday 13th July, 10.00 - 11.00 am BST, via Zoom. To join the webinar, register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CfzrsLdBTxem2ZFJZDPdxA#/registration
The one hour session will explore how lifting equipment plays an essential role in Nuclear operations and how the consequences of non-compliance to standards and ignorance 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.
By attending this webinar you will gain an overview of legislative frameworks, responsibilities, training, and best practices applicable to owners and end users of lifting equipment in the Nuclear sector.
Speakers include representatives from Sellafield and specialist nuclear site service company PAR Systems.
