Typical forward tipping dumper scenarios on Dyce 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
FAQs
- 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.
- 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.
- Is forward tipping dumper accredited?
- Yes — accredited certificates aligned with PUWER 1998 and HSG144 are issued to successful candidates.
