A portal making it simple to get started on the LEEA membership journey is live, ready and waiting for your application, says Matt Barber, Director of Membership at LEEA (Lifting Equipment Engineers Association).
LEEA’s Membership Application Portal is designed to streamline the application process and make it easier than ever for organisations to join the global community dedicated to the highest standards of safety and professionalism, and to get access to the world class resources available to members.
We have been working hard to create a new, more efficient process for new members to join the Association. We believe it is important to make joining the amazing community of LEEA members more accessible for businesses and organisations, so we can all continue the work of lifting standards worldwide to create a better and safer industry.
While applications must still meet LEEA’s eligibility and standard criteria, this improved system ensures businesses can access technical support, training, audits and a trusted network of lifting professionals faster and more efficiently.
Members have to go through a technical audit, which is specific to lifting equipment and focuses on standards and paperwork so when you see the LEEA badge you can trust that company really knows what they are talking about.
LEEA’s vision is to promote enhanced standards and sustainable development for the worldwide lifting and safety industry and our mission is that we will educate, influence, and enable so that best practice is normal practice.
We do not just tell our 1200 members what to do – we listen to their opinions. So when we create compliance positions or technical guidance documents it is a result of engagement with members forming the largest global lifting forum, bringing together expertise with enormous experience to inform us not just what standards require but what is best practice.
Joining LEEA opens up the full benefits of support, technical advice, training, resources, promotion and networking from the global Lifting Industry association. Membership directly strengthens your team through world-class training and certification programmes. The LEEA Academy offers access to a full suite of training, from basic rigging to advanced equipment inspection. It supports continuous development through CPD for member employees.
Members have unrivalled access to all the latest technical, legal and safety information needed to operate successfully in today’s Lifting Industry. LEEA helps members to identify and manage risk, protects and promotes members’ interests and gives members a competitive advantage.
Renowned and highly regarded across the globe, both within the industry and with end users, who are increasingly expecting membership from their suppliers, the LEEA logo is evidence of a member’s dedication to best quality, best practice and best standards.
These are compelling reasons to join LEEA, and together we can continue lifting standards worldwide. Start your application today at https://member-portal.leeaint.com/apply/.
