Manual Handling Training delivered where you work in Westhill
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited manual handling training on-site across Westhill (AB32), about 22 road miles from our Aboyne base (~35 mins via A944). We work with oil & gas service companies, fabricators and logistics teams operating around the Prospect Park energy cluster — including teams at Subsea7, Halliburton, TAQA, 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. Westhill's energy contractors run formal competence assurance — expect photo-ID checks, signed pre-use logs and audit-ready training records before mobilisation. 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.

- TILE assessed in the office, never on the actual task
- Mechanical aids on site but never used because they're slower
