LEEA has a well-established process for periodically reviewing and updating its guidance documents, ensuring they reflect the latest industry standards. The new edition of LEEA 046 has undergone a full content verification and editorial refresh to ensure it remains current and relevant. LEEA members can now access and download this updated document through the LEEA website at leeaint.com.
In addition to the updated guidance, LEEA has a mobile app, LEEA Connect. This app provides users with direct access to technical resources, including guidance documents, safety alerts, videos, and the latest news from LEEA. With features like offline access to content, real-time push notifications, and a dedicated news feed, the app ensures users are always informed about the latest developments in the lifting equipment industry.
The app is available to both members and non-members, though certain resources, including exclusive documents and content, are only accessible to LEEA members. To access member-only content, users must register within the app using their company’s LEEA membership number. Once registered and approved by their company’s designated LEEA contact, members can begin using the app’s full range of features.
LEEA Connect also offers push notifications to keep users up-to-date on new guidance, safety alerts, events, and social media posts from the association. The app is a valuable tool for anyone in the lifting industry, providing instant access to vital information wherever and whenever it’s needed.
