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 manual handling accredited?

Yes — accredited certificates aligned with Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 are issued to successful candidates.

Typical manual handling scenarios on Newtonhill sites

Scenario 2
Two-person lift of awkward kit (motors, panels, valves) up steps
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
