What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

Do you cover sites near Kintore?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?

Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.

How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

Scenario 2

Scenario 3

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

Why this matters

UK workers killed each year falling from height — the #1 fatal cause.
