Lifting Guide 2010   Lifting Guide 2010 Lifting Guide 2010 3 As far as we’re aware, this is the first Guide of its kind which is intended to provide the end-user with an overview of the Lifting Industry as a whole. The information is categorised so that readers can find their way through the vari- ous equipment and machinery with ease. Each item or product is accompanied by a short description and an illustration for easy reference. Having published the monthly magazine “Bulk Handling Today” for many years, we have a very good idea of who’s who in the industry. As such, this Lifting Guide provides readers with a ‘snapshot’ of the lifting fraternity but it would not have been possible without the assistance of LEEASA (Lifting Equipment Engineering Association of SA), and Ken Greenwood in particular. We thank them for their professional guidance and assistance in putting this publication together. As a first issue, Promech Publishing is very proud of this Guide and we intend to grow it in the years to come, so any suggestions for improvements from readers and end-users would be more than welcome. Keep this guide in your desk drawer – it’s going to be of invaluable help as you grow your business.

Lifting Guide 2010 Lifting Equipment Engineering Association of SA (LEEASA) has come a long way since its inception in 2004. Year after year, LEEASA has made headway in its endeavor to assist in helping government and statutory bodies to implement and regulate our industry to make a difference, both in standards, and the safety of our people. T he period 2009 to 2010 was no excep- tion and again we have seen changes for the better. The challenges that we faced at the begin- ning of this period were large, but we tackled each task with our usual en- thusiasm and com- mitment. These included, nominating someone to serve on the technical committee to re-write the Driven Machinery Regulations (TCDMR). This was done and the work is close to being finalised. LEEASA also has members on the committees on the Na- tional Code of Practice (NCOP) and the rewrite of the Construction Regulations (CR). The LEEASA members of these committees are in continual dialogue regarding these regulations. Formulating an auditing document to audit LME (Lifting Machinery Entity) members of LEEASA. A document has been developed and some pilot audits have been done. At the request of the Department of Labour, LEEASA has contributed to writing level 2, level 3 and level 4 qualifications for the vertical articulation career path to a LMI (Lifting Machinery Inspection). This will lead to vertical articulation to the existing registered level 5 qualification for LMIs. LEEASA continues to provide volunteers for the working committees at ECSA, SABS, SAQA and the DoL More issues that became challenges in the period 2009 to 2010. The extensions of scope of LME’s. To assist with this LEEASA has produced a survey to identify problems. • The change in government policy regarding education. The introduction of the QCTO system is in progress and LEEASA is actively participating in this process of change. The Association is concerned that their industry, which is inherently dangerous if not well run and regulated, could fall into disrepute and therefore the engineering team providing the service should be well trained to the correct standards and should at all times be ethical and responsible for their actions. The Association has joined the Chamber of Engi- neering Technology, who already have the necessary infrastructures to disseminate information and who already are recognised in representing engineering practitioners in the Engineering fraternities. Anyone interested in joining the association, should contact Ken Greenwood on (011) 475 5876 • About LEEASA by Ken Greenwood National chairman of LEEASA Mission & Vision of CET The Chamber of Engineering Technology.
