Why teams in Insch book this
Insch is built on MEWP, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site MEWP Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.
Insch on the ground: Garioch market village with light industrial and rail-served estates. Typical buildings: rail-served estates, agri sheds.

Typical MEWP scenarios on Insch 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
FAQs
- 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 MEWP accredited?
- Yes — accredited certificates aligned with Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
