YOKE recognised as a LEEA Accredited Training Company

YOKE is delighted to announce, that following an extensive and in-depth audit and review its Training Department has achieved LEEA Accredited Training Status for its “Safe Use and Application Training” of lifting components.

The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is known internationally for promoting best practice and sustainable development for the worldwide Lifting and Safety industry.
“We are delighted to receive this honour from LEEA and it reflects on the great teamwork of our trainers and support team,” said Steven Hong, Chairman, YOKE.

The review involved auditing YOKE’s training organisation, materials, personal skills/knowledge, and facilities.

Richard Oldknow, consultant, YOKE, added; “The LEEA audit is both fair and challenging, and we appreciate their guidance throughout the whole process, especially thanks to Scott Barnes (LEEA) and the whole LEEA Team, as well as our YOKE colleagues, both at our HQ but also our trainers around the world who worked diligently to achieve this Accreditation.”

LEEA Accredited Training courses are designed specifically for end users of lifting equipment and are delivered on site or as convenient to the students. YOKE Safe Use and Application training takes a student through seven separate modules, from Regulations, Codes and Standards, Product Safe use, Pre use checks to Rigging the Load and Risk Assessments/Lift Planning.

The aim of this course is to refresh learners with existing knowledge of rigging, lifting and slinging techniques but can it can also be beneficial to new recruits to the industry who want to learn new skills.

“The Accredited Training Scheme is proving extremely successful in delivering high quality training for end users of lifting equipment and we look forward to taking our training around the globe,” said Oldknow.  

“YOKE training courses are audited on the materials, trainers and facilities to ensure quality and consistency. We adhere to the highest technical and safety standards during the design and delivery of our courses.  YOKE trainers are appropriately qualified and experienced.”
