Sub-contractors: Working at Height Training
working at height training built around what sub-contractors are measured on: operator gate-pass approval first time. Call 07867 933 018 for a free quote.
Audit findings this prevents
- 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
Why teams in North-East Scotland book this
Most of the Working at Height Training bookings we take from North-East Scotland land because of one thing: principal rejecting your operator on the gate for missing photo-card refresher We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.
What sub-contractors get from this: same-week refresher cover with auditable certificate. Measured against operator gate-pass approval first time.

FAQs
- Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?
- The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.
- Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?
- Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.
- How long does working at height take?
- For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.
- What happens if an operator fails?
- We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.
- What happens if the weather closes the site?
- We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.
