Will our Lumphanan site suit on-site delivery?

Lumphanan sites are mostly forestry compounds, farm sheds, 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 Lumphanan?

8 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~15 mins via A980. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Lumphanan are still economic for us to run.

Is this course right for site teams?

It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.

Is working at height accredited?

Yes — accredited certificates aligned with Work at Height Regulations 2005 are issued to successful candidates.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in Lumphanan because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

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 teams in Lumphanan book this

Lumphanan is built on working at height, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site Working at Height Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Lumphanan on the ground: Mid-Deeside village with forestry and arable mix. Typical buildings: forestry compounds, farm sheds.
