Have you worked with sites near Kintore before?

Regularly — we work around Kintore Industrial Estate, Midmill Business Park, Network Rail Kintore station ops. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.

Will our Kintore site suit on-site delivery?

Kintore sites are mostly logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A96.

Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?

Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.

How experienced are the instructors?

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

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.

Why teams in Kintore book this

We've delivered MEWP Training across Kintore 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.

Kintore on the ground: AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. Typical buildings: logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds.

Why this matters

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

Typical MEWP scenarios on Kintore 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
