FAQs
- Which regulations does distillery training map to here?
- PUWER 1998, GMP, COSHH, DSEAR 2002 (alcohol vapour). We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the distillery client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.
- When should we book the next distillery training cohort?
- Refresher every 3 years; pre-mash-season cohorts in late summer.. For distillery operations we usually plan the cohort into the quiet part of your cycle so production isn't the thing that delays competence.
- Do you deliver distillery training on-site in Huntly?
- Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Huntly, around 25 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
- Will a principal accept this for a distillery 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.
- Do you train outdoors year-round in Huntly?
- Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.
Why teams in Huntly book this
Most of the distillery training bookings we take from Huntly land because of one thing: Whisky-tourism foot traffic and seasonal cask movement create pedestrian / FLT conflicts the standard ticket doesn't address. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.
Distilleries context: Speyside distilleries mix cask-yard FLT/telehandler work with confined-space stills, vapour zones and tight visitor flow.
