Distillery training, done on-site

North-East Scotland is built on distillery, and Whisky-tourism foot traffic and seasonal cask movement create pedestrian / FLT conflicts the standard ticket doesn't address. On-site distillery training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Distilleries context: Speyside distilleries mix cask-yard FLT/telehandler work with confined-space stills, vapour zones and tight visitor flow.

Regulations this covers

  • PUWER 1998
  • GMP
  • COSHH
  • DSEAR 2002 (alcohol vapour)

Typical machine mix: telehandler (cask handling) · forklift · MEWP for tun-room access · abrasive wheels for cooperage.

FAQs

Is distillery training accredited?
Yes — accredited certificates aligned with PUWER 1998, GMP, COSHH, DSEAR 2002 (alcohol vapour) are issued to successful candidates.
Does local site context change how the day runs?
Northern Aberdeenshire industrial hub anchored by BrewDog brewery. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your North-East Scotland operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.
Which machines do you assess on for distillery work?
Typically telehandler (cask handling), forklift, MEWP for tun-room access, abrasive wheels for cooperage. We assess on the machines already on your North-East Scotland site, so operators are signed off against the exact controls, attachments and ground conditions they work on daily.
Is this course right for site teams?
It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.
How much does distillery training cost for a team in North-East Scotland?
Day rates for distillery training typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
