- No stop-blocks at tipping edges; vehicle goes over because the heap shifted
- Reversing with no rear-view aids in a yard with pedestrians
Why teams in Newburgh book this

FAQs
- 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.
- Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
- Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
- 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.
- Is this course right for site teams?
- It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.
