Blind lift over a building corner with radio comms only
- Scenario 2
Multi-leg sling selection for an awkward, off-centre load
- Scenario 3
Receiving an HGV-mounted load in a tight yard with foot traffic
Audit findings this prevents
- Signals improvised instead of the BS 7121 standard set
- Sling WLL chosen on a single-leg basis when the geometry needed derating
- Banksman positioned in the load-fall zone to 'get a better view'

FAQs
- Will a principal accept this for a construction site?
- Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.
- Will our North-East Scotland site suit on-site delivery?
- North-East Scotland sites are mostly small fabrication units, transport depots, marine kit yards, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A90.
- Have you worked with sites near North-East Scotland before?
- Regularly — we work around Cove Industrial Estate, Souter Head Industrial Estate. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- Do you deliver banksman slinger on-site in North-East Scotland?
- Yes — we travel to your yard or site in North-East Scotland, around 34 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
- What's the lead time?
- Most North-East Scotland bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.
