“Lifting Gear is offering these safety seminars to our customers because ASME rules require that the equipment user be trained in the selection, inspection, cautions to personnel, effects of environment, and rigging practices of the equipment,” said Tony Fiscelli, General Manager. “Our company offers the seminars free of charge, with the exception, in some cases, for travel expenses and supplemental materials which are charged at cost. Our goal is not to profit from this offering but ensure that our customers have the best safety training in using our equipment by the use standards set by the manufacturer and as required by ASME.”

Izzy De Jesus, Inside Project Coordinator and seminar presenter for Lifting Gear Hire said “Every professional presentation is customized to meet the needs of the company and done on the company site by knowledgeable professionals placed in locations across the United States.”

Lifting Gear Hire provides interested companies with a menu of options created to meet the needs of the seminar audience. Examples include general rigging practices, sling and hardware safety inspection and winching applications. When possible, the presentation includes product demonstrations and always includes real life “what not to do” examples and a question and answer session.
