Working at Height Training in Ellon
Accredited, on-site working at height training for food production, manufacturing and farming operators across Aberdeenshire.
Working at Height Training delivered where you work in Ellon
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited working at height 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 working at height course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical working at height operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including Work at Height Regulations 2005. 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 working at height certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 16+, medically fit to wear a harness.
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £350–£750 depending on awareness vs fall-arrest path.

- Harness inspected by the wearer only — the regs require a competent person every 6 months
- Lanyard clipped to a scaffold tube of unknown anchor rating
- No suspension-trauma protocol — death can occur inside 20 minutes of a fall arrest
