Site Safety Training in Ellon
Accredited, on-site site safety training for food production, manufacturing and farming operators across Aberdeenshire.
Site Safety Training delivered where you work in Ellon
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited site safety training on-site across Ellon (AB41), about 40 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 10 via A920 / A90). We work with food production, manufacturing and farming operators operating around the Ellon industrial estate and surrounding farms — including teams at BrewDog (Ellon HQ & DogHouse), Ellon Industrial Estate tenants, Buchan-corridor farms, and shape each site safety course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical site safety operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and CDM 2015. Food and beverage manufacturers around Ellon enforce strict hygiene-zone traffic routes — FLT operators need extra coverage on contamination control, chilled-area conduct and repetitive manual handling. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited site safety certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: None. Designed for new starts and refresher cohorts alike.
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £400–£800 per cohort of up to 12.

Site Safety Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the site safety findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- Permits issued but never closed out — fails the simplest CDM audit
- Site rules briefed verbally, never signed, no audit trail
- Visiting contractors signed in but not inducted on site-specific risks
