Audit findings this prevents

  • No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
  • Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
  • AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits

FAQs

Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
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.
What evidence do you return?
Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
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.
Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?
Yes — small cohorts work in Insch because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
