Bath Iron Works James D.(What I liked most about the seminar was…..) The hands-on part in the lab.
Ariel Safety & Training Jim M.It was appreciative that time was taken to answer questions. All questions were
answered with knowledge and skill. Reference material was well used to reinforce the "why" of what an overhead crane operator is responsible for.
Audubon Metals Danny A.Became more familiar with crane components & operational aspects. Helped a lot.
