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.
