I provide training to people who are involved in cable logging of natural resources. I do this through the use of inside courses and workshops, as well as on the ground instruction and reinforcement of the knowledge that is presented in the classroom. Safety of operations runs through everything that I teach, regardless of the “subject" being covered.
