Introduction
As the UAE’s construction, oil & gas, marine, and heavy engineering sectors continue to expand, Safe Rigging & Slinging Training has become an operational and legal necessity. Whether lifting structural steel in Abu Dhabi, handling pipe segments in a Sharjah yard, or rigging precast panels in Fujairah, trained riggers and slingers are critical for safe and compliant lifting operations.
Our training is fully aligned with LEEA, ADNOC, ADOSH, QCC, MOIAT, and international safety standards, and is delivered by ENAS and ISO 17020 accredited providers. This ensures both practical competency and full regulatory recognition across UAE job sites.
