Why teams in Dyce book this

Most of the Manual Handling Training bookings we take from Dyce land because of one thing: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

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

Typical manual handling scenarios on Dyce sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Repetitive picking in a chiller / cold-store environment

  2. Scenario 2

    Two-person lift of awkward kit (motors, panels, valves) up steps

  3. Scenario 3

    Push-pull loading of cages and roll-pallets at delivery bays

Audit findings this prevents

  • TILE assessed in the office, never on the actual task
  • Mechanical aids on site but never used because they're slower
  • Reporting only incidents, missing the near-misses that predict MSD injuries
