In addition, various committees have been established, the Technical Committee being the most important. This committee consists of specialists with a technical background and many years of experience in the safe use, development and maintenance of cranes and lifting and hoisting accessories. The committee is responsible for keeping the Working Instructions up to date and also provides valuable input to the developers of the EKH-Courses. After all, one of EKH&rsquo;s key objectives is to ensure a high level of professional expertise among its Members.    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3>EKH Board Members<\/h3>\n<table style=\"height: 212px; width: 78.0712%;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Wijnhold Wijnholds<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Chairman<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%;\">Frans van der Brugh<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%;\">Secretary<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Paul Houdijk<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Treasurer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%;\">Mela Coskun<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%;\">PR and Communications<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Simone van de Berg<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Courses<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%;\">Robert Jurgens<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%;\">Board Member and WK-1 TCVT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 54.789%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Arjan van Lier<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 128.077%; background-color: #f5f5f5;\">Technical Comittee<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Advisors<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width: 78.1902%; height: 28px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 28px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 55.0406%;\">Fred Noordegraaf<\/td>\n<td style=\"height: 28px; width: 126.648%;\">Board Member<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Board and Members&rsquo; Meetings<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EKH devotes considerable time and effort to keeping the Working Instructions up to date by closely monitoring relevant legislation and regulations, standards, decisions and technical developments.
