In-house MEWP training for Inverurie teams

An in-house MEWP cohort in Inverurie means we close the course to your team only. That changes the conversation — we can refer to your specific risk assessments, your machine fleet, your traffic management plan and your Aberdeenshire site rules instead of teaching the generic version.

Regulatory frame

Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998.

Certification: Accredited MEWP operator certificate. Equipment: Boom lifts, scissor lifts, push-around verticals.

Audit findings this prevents

  • No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
  • Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
  • Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate

Who this is built for in Inverurie

Right fit

Maintenance, M&E, fit-out and inspection crews. In-house works best for teams of 4+. Below that, an open cohort is usually cheaper per head; above that, the per-head price drops sharply and you keep the institutional knowledge in your business.

What they leave with

  • Pre-use, machine familiarisation and emergency lowering
  • Wind, ground and proximity hazard assessment
  • Rescue planning and harness use where required

FAQs — in-house in Inverurie

What's the minimum team size?
4 for the per-head economics to make sense. Below that, open cohorts are better value.
Can you use our risk assessments?
Yes — we ask for them in advance and refer to them throughout the day.
Will the trainer come to our Inverurie site?
Always. In-house only happens at your site.
Do you do recurring annual in-house programmes?
Yes, and we discount them. Most multi-site clients run a rolling 12-month plan.

Open-cohort training certifies the operator. In-house training certifies the operator against your site. That difference shows up on every subsequent audit.
