Why teams in Kintore book this
Plant operator competence in Kintore is mostly about evidence. Telehandler Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.
Kintore on the ground: AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. Typical buildings: logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds.

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
Why this matters
30%
of UK construction plant fatalities involve telehandlers or excavators overturning.

FAQs
- 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.
- Does local site context change how the day runs?
- AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your Kintore operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.
- Which regulations does telehandler map to here?
- LOLER 1998 and PUWER 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.
- What evidence do you return?
- Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
- 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.
