What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.

Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

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.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.

How experienced are the instructors?

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

Typical forward tipping dumper scenarios on Altens sites

Scenario 1
Tipping at a stop-block on an active edge — driver-positioning rule
Scenario 2
Travelling with a full skip across a soft, rutted haul road
Scenario 3
Loading-bay coordination with a 360 excavator — eye contact, not assumption

Audit findings this prevents

Seatbelt not worn — HSE's single biggest dumper-fatality factor
No stop-blocks at tipping edges; vehicle goes over because the heap shifted
Reversing with no rear-view aids in a yard with pedestrians
