Why teams in Tullos book this

Plant operator competence in Tullos 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.

Tullos on the ground: Older inner-Aberdeen industrial belt converting into mixed energy / logistics. Typical buildings: legacy industrial sheds, regen sites, scrap and recycling yards.

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

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 Tullos because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
