Every year, thousands of workers face life-threatening hazards while working at heights—on construction sites, industrial plants, wind turbines, or maintenance jobs. Most accidents happen not because the equipment fails, but because the people using it were never trained to use it safely.
That’s where CESL (Capital Equipment Services Limited) steps in—India’s dedicated training and certification provider for MEWP operators, work at height professionals, and wind energy technicians.
So if you’re wondering:
“How do I get certified to operate a boom or scissor lift?”
“What training is required for GWO certification?”
“Where can I find MEWP training near me?”
This blog will answer all of that—and more.
