Working at Height Training delivered where you work in Peterhead
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited working at height training on-site across Peterhead (AB42), about 55 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 15 via A90 / A952). We work with fishing, processing, energy and port operators operating around Peterhead Port and the surrounding industrial estates — including teams at Peterhead Port Authority, SSE Peterhead Power Station, Lunar Fishing / processors, 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. Tidal windows and 24-hour shift handovers at Peterhead Port mean refresher and operator training has to slot around the operation — we cohort sessions across shifts so the quayside never stops. 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.
