Commitment to Training and Safety

Training is at the heart of everything we do. Recognising that skills development is essential for progress and safety, Lifting Africa places a strong emphasis on training and education. LEEASA host an annual industry conference that brings together key stakeholders to discuss critical topics, showcase innovation, and share valuable insights. The conference also features case studies of past accidents and incidents within the industry, providing important lessons to help prevent similar occurrences in the future.
