Forward Tipping Dumper Training delivered where you work in Peterhead
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited forward tipping dumper training on-site across Peterhead (AB42), about 55 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 15 via A90 / A952). We work with fishing, processing, energy and port operators operating around Peterhead Port and the surrounding industrial estates — including teams at Peterhead Port Authority, SSE Peterhead Power Station, Lunar Fishing / processors, and shape each forward tipping dumper course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical forward tipping dumper operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including PUWER 1998 and HSG144. Tidal windows and 24-hour shift handovers at Peterhead Port mean refresher and operator training has to slot around the operation — we cohort sessions across shifts so the quayside never stops. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited dumper operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+. Site induction recommended.
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £450–£900 per cohort of up to 4.
