Typical MEWP scenarios on Bucksburn sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule

  2. Scenario 2

    Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment

  3. Scenario 3

    Wind-speed call: 12.5 m/s manufacturer limit vs the day's gust forecast

Audit findings this prevents

  • No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
  • Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
  • Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate

FAQs

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 much does MEWP cost for a team in Bucksburn?
Day rates for MEWP typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
