Working at Height Training in Huntly
Accredited, on-site working at height training for farming, distilling, food processing and forestry operators across Aberdeenshire.
Working at Height Training delivered where you work in Huntly
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited working at height training on-site across Huntly (AB54), about 25 road miles from our Aboyne base (~45 mins via A97). We work with farming, distilling, food processing and forestry operators operating around the Huntly industrial estate and surrounding farms — including teams at GlenDronach Distillery (nearby), Dewar's Aberlour catchment, Huntly Industrial Estate tenants, 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. Distillery and agri yards around Huntly mix telehandler bulk-load work with cask-yard MEWP access and seasonal harvest spikes — operators rotate roles, so cross-training and refresher cadence are critical. 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.

Working at Height Training — common audit findings we prevent

- 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
