Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.

Do you do follow-up observation visits?

Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in North-East Scotland because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

Why teams in North-East Scotland book this

Most of the Forklift Training bookings we take from North-East Scotland land because of one thing: audit finding flagging operator competence as the weakest control We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

What HSE officers get from this: training that maps directly to PUWER / LOLER / CDM evidence. Measured against competence-related findings closed and not re-raised.

Pricing guide

£450–£950 depending on novice vs refresher and team size

Audit findings this prevents

Travelling with the forks raised — the most common HSE-citable defect on FLT audits
Pre-use checks signed off without actually walking the truck
Pedestrians cutting through reversing zones because segregation was painted but not enforced

Why this matters

1,300+

people seriously injured each year by forklifts in the UK.
