+971 55 665 4997
Our Services
Every service we deliver is built around one principle: zero margin for error in lifting operations. Specialist expertise for steel plants and rolling mills — compliant with LOLER, LEEA, BS2171, and ADOSH CoP 34.
Appointed Person Services
The Appointed Person (AP) carries statutory responsibility for planning and supervising lifting operations. Our fully qualified APs take legal accountability so your operations remain compliant under LOLER 1998, ADOSH CoP 34, and all applicable international standards.
We provide AP services on a project, contract, or retained basis — embedded within your steel plant or rolling mill operations. Our APs hold current LEEA qualifications and have direct experience with overhead bridge cranes, jib cranes, and monorail systems in live production environments.

Risk Assessment
Comprehensive lifting operation risk assessments specific to steel plant and rolling mill environments. We identify hazards, evaluate risks, and produce documented control measures that satisfy regulatory and insurance requirements.
Our risk assessments go beyond generic templates. We assess the specific interaction between crane type, load characteristics, environmental conditions (heat, dust, vibration), and personnel — producing site-specific documents that are operationally practical and legally defensible.
