Do you cover sites near Dyce?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.

Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?

Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.

Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Why teams in Dyce book this

Forklift Training for forklift in Dyce needs to clear three bars at once: PUWER 1998 and HSE L117 Approved Code of Practice, LOLER 1998. That's how we structure the day — practical assessment on your kit, paperwork that survives audit.

Dyce on the ground: Heliport-adjacent oil-and-gas supply base, 24/7 logistics traffic. Typical buildings: supply-base yards, hangars, modular offices.

Why this matters

1,300+

people seriously injured each year by forklifts in the UK.

Typical forklift scenarios on Dyce sites

Scenario 1
Loading curtain-siders in a wet, sloping yard with mixed pedestrian traffic
Scenario 2
Stacking three-high in narrow racking with restricted overhead clearance
Scenario 3
Battery / LPG changeover and end-of-shift charging discipline

Audit findings this prevents

Travelling with the forks raised — the most common HSE-citable defect on FLT audits
Pre-use checks signed off without actually walking the truck
Pedestrians cutting through reversing zones because segregation was painted but not enforced
