Accredited, on-site manual handling training for fishing, processing, energy and port operators across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.
Manual Handling Training delivered where you work in Peterhead
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited manual handling 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 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. 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 manual handling certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, 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.
