Will our Torphins site suit on-site delivery?

Torphins sites are mostly joinery workshops, small contractor yards, 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 A980.

How far do you travel to Torphins?

7 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~13 mins via A980. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Torphins are still economic for us to run.

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.

Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

What the course covers

Boom control, load charts and stability
Attachment changes and lifting accessories
Travel with raised loads and uneven ground handling

Certification: Accredited telehandler operator certificate. Regs: LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998.

Typical telehandler scenarios on Torphins sites

Scenario 1
Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot
Scenario 2
Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record
Scenario 3
Tele-handling round livestock or farm pedestrians without segregation

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.
