Do you cover sites near Keith?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Which regulations does MEWP map to here?

Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

How far do you travel to Keith?

42 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~1hr via A96. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Keith are still economic for us to run.

What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.

Scenario 3

Why teams in Keith book this

Keith 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.
