What's the lead time?

Most Portlethen bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Do you train outdoors year-round in Portlethen?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

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.

Do you deliver working at height on-site in Portlethen?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Portlethen, around 36 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

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.

Why teams in Portlethen book this

Portlethen 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.

Portlethen on the ground: Badentoy energy-services park south of Aberdeen. Typical buildings: service-company workshops, tool yards, casing pipe stores.

Typical working at height scenarios on Portlethen 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
