MEWP Training in Aberdeen
Accredited, on-site MEWP training for oil & gas, marine, construction and large-scale distribution operators across Aberdeen City.
MEWP Training delivered where you work in Aberdeen
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited MEWP training on-site across Aberdeen (AB10–AB25), about 30 road miles from our Aboyne base (45–55 mins via A93 / AWPR). We work with oil & gas, marine, construction and large-scale distribution operators operating around Aberdeen Harbour and the Dyce industrial belt — including teams at Aberdeen Harbour Board, Wood plc, BP North Sea, and shape each MEWP course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical MEWP operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998. Energy-sector procurement audits in Aberdeen routinely demand recorded competence with photo evidence and matched serial numbers — not just a valid ticket. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited mewp operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeen City.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+. Suitable for harness use (no medical contraindications).
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £450–£950 per category (1a, 1b, 3a, 3b).
What the course covers
- Pre-use, machine familiarisation and emergency lowering
- Wind, ground and proximity hazard assessment
- Rescue planning and harness use where required
MEWP training in Aberdeen — local context

MEWP Training on Aberdeen sites — typical scenarios
These are the situations oil & gas in Aberdeen City bring us to cover with their MEWP operators. We work each one through on your own kit, on your own site.
- Scenario 1
Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule
- Scenario 2
Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment
- Scenario 3
Wind-speed call: 12.5 m/s manufacturer limit vs the day's gust forecast
MEWP Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Aberdeen City sites we've trained on, these are the MEWP findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
- Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
- Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate
