Committee members represent contractor and equipment supplier Members, and all have extensive technical experience in lifting and related matters. This provides an ideal platform for the Committee to review and produce Guidance and Information Notes.

The Committee is also active in reviewing the standards of other industry bodies, as well as regularly reviewing and assessing the competency and training requirements of personnel key to ensuring safe and efficient lifting operations.
