the entertainment industry and climbing and personal protection equipment. Commenting on her election, Siobhan said:
“I’m delighted to be able to support the invaluable work of LEEA. In particular, I am keen that the association reflects the needs of members that are serving rapidly developing markets such as theatres, lighting and rigging, and the leisure industry, which typically have very distinct lifting requirements to the manufacturing, construction and offshore sectors.” She added: “The overwhelming majority
of our 22-strong team at Rope Assemblies is female, and I hope that my new role at LEEA highlights the growing opportunities for women looking to pursue a successful career in the lifting industry.” y
ITI Unveils a Ground-Breaking New Training Program
> Industrial Training International (
iti.com), a world leader in crane, rigging and lifting
educational services, is very pleased to announce a new, comprehensive training program that aims to provide foundational knowledge in the arena of rigging engineering. Fundamentals of Rigging Engineering
combines 14 of the brightest minds in thelifting and hoisting industry with an innovative and intuitive learning format to produce a program that is truly extraordinary. Notably, this Program is being developed under the guidance and management of J. Keith Anderson who currently serves Bechtel as its Chief Rigging Engineer. Mr. Anderson has just released a book titled Rigging Engineering Basics, which is the fundamental text for this Program. Learn about the Program at
riggingengineering.com. Heavy crane, rigging and lifting
activities take place in a variety of industrial environments. Engineers come on the scene with backgrounds in mechanical, civil, structural or other branches of
engineering. However, in most engineering degree programs, students learn little to nothing about crane and rigging activities. Most engineers who enter this field are then required to learn on-the-job. On the other end of the spectrum are
field-experienced crane and rigging managers who have graduated through the ranks to take on key roles such as lift planner, crane or rigging superintendent, or master rigger. In general, these individuals have already learned a great deal on-the-job, but lack the formal engineering education behind load handling activities. Fundamentals of Rigging Engineering
seeks to serve both of the aforementioned groups by providing foundational knowledge in rigging engineering by exposing students to what they need to consider and provide them with the resources to assist them in solving lifting challenges when they arise. Learn more about the program by visiting:
