Will a principal accept this for a construction site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Do you deliver MEWP on-site in Dyce?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Dyce, around 36 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

What's the lead time?

Most Dyce bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Do you train outdoors year-round in Dyce?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

Why teams in Dyce book this

We've delivered MEWP Training across Dyce for 3-year refresher cycle. The pattern is consistent: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site delivery on your equipment, with refresher cycles planned into your operation, is the cure.

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

Why this matters

MEWP-related deaths recorded by IPAF globally in 2023; falls and entrapment lead.

Typical MEWP scenarios on Dyce sites

Scenario 1
Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule
Scenario 2
Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment
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
