TRAINING

1. WARN WINCH, SAFE WINCHING TECHNIQUES

Every winching situation has a potential for personal injury. In order to minimize that risk, it is important that the users are being properly and professionally guided to familiarise the right procedures and think of safety measures before using the winch.

The basic training is a guide which provides understanding proper winching techniques.  It is because every winching situation is different, constant judgment and consistent focus on safety is of great importance to avoid any mishaps or injuries.

Furthermore, the right model or specifications of the winch should be chosen and used for each type or model of vehicles.  The winches chosen should be of reputable brands with product liability and warranty in case of failure due to manufacturing defects because winch is EQUIPMENT and not an accessory.  Please note that all equipment are manufactured in accordance to recognised International Engineering Standards with certain mandatory technical specifications where anything less will contribute to failure and resulting in accident and injuries.  Winch is one equipment where safety standards come first before price.
