Manual Handling Training delivered where you work in North-East Scotland
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited manual handling training on-site across North-East Scotland (North-East Scotland). We work with energy, construction, marine, agricultural and distribution operators operating around sites across Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray — including teams at North-East energy supply chain, Speyside distillers, Moray Firth ports, 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. North-East operators routinely move plant between three council areas — we plan cohorts and refreshers so certification windows line up across the whole operation. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited manual handling certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across North-East Scotland.
Prerequisites: None. Suitable for all field and warehouse staff.
