Everything lifts off safely: 110 participants in the slinging course.

Building without a crane? Unthinkable for a long time! But where tons of materials and machines hover over construction sites, the utmost caution is required at all times. To prevent accidents and increase safety, around 110 employees of the Volken Group are currently undergoing internal training - in half-day courses from HFS, the Swiss Competence Center for Lifting - Securing - Conveying. In theory and practice, the construction professionals learn how to fix crane loads correctly depending on their weight and center of gravity, which slings are suitable for what, when individual securing devices need to be replaced, and much more. What is learned in the theoretical part is practiced directly in the workshop of the Volken Group and at the end is deepened in question rounds. Such courses are indispensable and help to increase occupational safety.
