FAQs
- Have you worked with sites near Elgin (eastern edge) before?
- Regularly — we work around Pinefield Industrial Estate, Moray Council depot, Diageo Speyside operations. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- Will our Elgin (eastern edge) site suit on-site delivery?
- Elgin (eastern edge) sites are mostly council depots, distillery offices, distribution warehouses, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A96.
- What evidence do you return?
- Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
- Do you do follow-up observation visits?
- Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
