Working at Height Training delivered where you work in Westhill
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited working at height training on-site across Westhill (AB32), about 22 road miles from our Aboyne base (~35 mins via A944). We work with oil & gas service companies, fabricators and logistics teams operating around the Prospect Park energy cluster — including teams at Subsea7, Halliburton, TAQA, 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. Westhill's energy contractors run formal competence assurance — expect photo-ID checks, signed pre-use logs and audit-ready training records before mobilisation. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited working at height certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.

Working at Height Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the working at height findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- 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
