MEWP Training refresher in Inverurie
A MEWP refresher in Inverurie is a one-day deal, not a re-run of the novice course. We assume your operators already drive the machine confidently — the refresher exists to retest competence, update them on Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998 changes and reset the 3-year clock before procurement audits flag the expiry.
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

FAQs — refresher in Inverurie
- How long is the refresher?
- One day on-site in Inverurie, including assessment.
- What if the ticket has already expired?
- If it's lapsed by less than 12 months we can usually still treat it as a refresher; longer than that and it's a short novice course.
- Does the new certificate cover another 3 years?
- Yes — full accredited cert, photo-ID card and 3-year refresher cycle reset.
- Can you do mixed refresher + novice cohorts?
- Yes, in a single visit — we just run two parallel streams.
A lapsed MEWP ticket is a procurement problem, not a training problem. Refresh before expiry and the operator never comes off the rota.
