Why teams in Dyce book this

Dyce is built on telehandler, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site Telehandler Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Dyce on the ground: Heliport-adjacent oil-and-gas supply base, 24/7 logistics traffic. Typical buildings: supply-base yards, hangars, modular offices.

Typical telehandler scenarios on Dyce sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot

  2. Scenario 2

    Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record

  3. Scenario 3

    Tele-handling round livestock or farm pedestrians without segregation

Why this matters

30%

of UK construction plant fatalities involve telehandlers or excavators overturning.

Source: HSE construction fatal injuries report.

Audit findings this prevents

  • Operating outside the load chart because the boom angle was eyeballed
  • Forgetting that a man-cage requires a thorough examination every 6 months, not 12
  • Pulling away with a raised load on uneven ground — the top cause of tip-overs

FAQs

Have you worked with sites near Dyce before?
Regularly — we work around Aberdeen International Airport, Kirkhill Industrial Estate, Wood plc Dyce. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
Will our Dyce site suit on-site delivery?
Dyce sites are mostly supply-base yards, hangars, modular offices, 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 you cohort operators with weaker English?
Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.
Can we use our own equipment?
We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.
Will this satisfy our insurer?
Yes — the accredited certificate plus evidence pack is the standard underwriters accept for the operator-competence renewal question.
