Typical working at height scenarios on North-East Scotland sites
- Scenario 1
Roof-edge inspection where the access ladder is the only option
- Scenario 2
Tower-scaffold erection with the 3T method on uneven ground
- Scenario 3
Mast-climber rescue plan including suspension-trauma response under 15 mins
Audit findings this prevents

- Lanyard clipped to a scaffold tube of unknown anchor rating
- No suspension-trauma protocol — death can occur inside 20 minutes of a fall arrest
FAQs
- Do you cover sites near North-East Scotland?
- Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
- Which regulations does working at height map to here?
- Work at Height Regulations 2005. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.
- How far do you travel to North-East Scotland?
- 38 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~55 mins via A90. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in North-East Scotland are still economic for us to 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.
- How experienced are the instructors?
- Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.
