This weeks news story centres around the huge effort put in by some of our fantastic engineers here at Ascendant, as they successfully completed important training courses, which safeguard themselves and the company, while also making the engineers working environment a happier and protected one!

Here at Ascendant Lifts & Escalators, we invest heavily into the training of our staff when it comes to health and safety.

Whether on site, in the office or travelling on our behalf, Ascendant engineers can be exposed to health and safety risks throughout their working day. As a result, we maintain a highly focused Health & Safety policy within the company, which sets out to achieve a 0% accident or near miss incident rate in every environment in which we work.

As a member of the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA), we are kept up to date with any changes to health & safety legislation, lift engineering standards, codes of practice or other recommendations. This week some of our engineers passed the below training courses with flying colours in the following areas…

• Manual Handling
• Slips and Trips
• Working at Height
• First Aid

Well done on another successful round of training lads! We couldn’t ask for a better team of engineers!
