Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Will this satisfy our insurer?

Yes — the accredited certificate plus evidence pack is the standard underwriters accept for the operator-competence renewal question.

Will a principal accept this for a construction site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Typical working at height scenarios on Kingswells sites

Scenario 1
Roof-edge inspection where the access ladder is the only option
Scenario 2
Tower-scaffold erection with the 3T method on uneven ground
Scenario 3
Mast-climber rescue plan including suspension-trauma response under 15 mins

Audit findings this prevents

Harness inspected by the wearer only — the regs require a competent person every 6 months
Lanyard clipped to a scaffold tube of unknown anchor rating
No suspension-trauma protocol — death can occur inside 20 minutes of a fall arrest
