Working at Height Training delivered where you work in Fraserburgh

Logan Plant Training delivers accredited working at height training on-site across Fraserburgh (AB43), about 60 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 20 via A90 / A98). We work with fishing, processing, agriculture and distribution operators operating around Fraserburgh Harbour and South Harbour industrial estate — including teams at Fraserburgh Harbour, Lunar Freezing / processors, South Harbour Industrial Estate, 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. Cold-store FLT work in the Broch comes with wet floors, pallet-jack interaction and rapid temperature shifts — courses here lean heavily on traffic discipline, footwear and load-stability awareness. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited working at height certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.

Prerequisites: Aged 16+, medically fit to wear a harness.
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £350–£750 depending on awareness vs fall-arrest path.
