The log book will detail the TEAM cardholder’s relevant work experience and provide further evidence of their suitability to work on overhead lifting equipment.
The TEAM scheme is designed to ensure only properly qualified engineers are permitted to test, examine and maintain overhead lifting equipment. TEAM cards are issued to engineers who have passed LEEA’s diploma examination. Each TEAM card is valid for five years and provides proof of the holder’s qualifications, the equipment they are competent to work on, their identity and their employer. Only full LEEA member companies may issue cards.
Geoff Holden, chief executive of the LEEA, said: “The introduction of the TEAM card log book marks the latest step in our ongoing campaign to ensure that the test, examination and maintenance of overhead lifting equipment is recognised as a specialist and safety critical role.
“Genuine competence is a mix of practical and theoretical skills and the TEAM card and log book bring them together in one place.”
