Manual Handling Training in Inverurie
Accredited, on-site manual handling training for manufacturing, distribution, construction and agricultural operators across Aberdeenshire.
Manual Handling Training delivered where you work in Inverurie
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited manual handling training on-site across Inverurie (AB51), about 28 road miles from our Aboyne base (~45 mins via A944 / A96). We work with manufacturing, distribution, construction and agricultural operators operating around Thainstone and Inverurie's industrial estates — including teams at Thainstone Mart (ANM Group), Burnside Industrial Estate tenants, Blackhall Industrial Estate, and shape each manual handling course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical manual handling operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. Thainstone, Burnside and Blackhall estates run high-volume distribution and food manufacturing — racking heights, loading-bay traffic and reach-truck competence are the recurring focus areas. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited manual handling certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: None. Suitable for all field and warehouse staff.
Pricing guide: Typically £25–£60 per head for a half-day cohort of 8–12.

Manual Handling Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the manual handling findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- TILE assessed in the office, never on the actual task
- Mechanical aids on site but never used because they're slower
- Reporting only incidents, missing the near-misses that predict MSD injuries
