In line with company philosophy Rigging Services offers quality training, delivered by experienced engineers and rigging specialists.

Legislation puts the emphasis on the employers to ensure their staff are competent in lifting, rigging and material handling techniques. This means accidents involve investigation, court cases, substantial fines and increasingly custodial sentences.

Not only are Rigging Services a member of the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association, our Company Director, Paul Fulcher is also a LEEA Director!

The courses are a careful blend of practical training and classroom tuition. All courses comply with the latest statutory guidelines, and legal requirements together with specific recommendations from the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association. Trainees can receive guidance on developing hands-on techniques. This blend of training is enjoyed by trainees, and is particularly powerful if trainees are at their own locations, using their own equipment.

All Rigging Services instructors are experienced industry professionals with NVQ qualifications to facilitate learning through demonstration and instruction.
