CHAIRMAN’S DESK LEEASA NEWS
2022 has started with a bang and a sense of Normality seems to have returned to South Africa… We kicked off the year at KITE (KwaZulu Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition) with our first LEEASA conference for 2022 and the first conference that has been presented in three years since Covid struck. The conference was well attended with just over 30 delegates who were treated to a full day’s work of ECSA CPD Validated material presented by our current board of directors and other Industry Experts. • LEEASA Update – Ashley Davis • The vetting process for LME’s and LMI’s – Kyle Graham - LEEASA • Man Cages - Ashley Davis - LEEASA • The management of trestles - Piet Otto - Phakamisa • Vacuum lifters - Sandra Hurlimann - WH Lifting • Utilisation & application of water weight load test bags – Kyle Graham – LEEASA The LEEASA update as well as the various presentations will be distributed on our members group soon after this edition is published. Please take the time to read the update as it contains some important points to consider. Thank you to all who attended that helped make the day a huge success… This year LEEASA is giving back to its members, and we have arranged 22 fully paid seats on various training courses with our validated CPD Course providers.
