Can you cover night or weekend shifts?

Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.

What if we need to rebook?

We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.

What evidence do you return?

Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.

Do you do follow-up observation visits?

Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in North-East Scotland because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

Why teams in North-East Scotland book this

Most of the Site Safety Training bookings we take from North-East Scotland land because of one thing: Insurance renewals and SEPA visits land in the same quarter — operators need evidenced refresher cycles, not paper. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

Waste & Recycling context: Transfer-station and MRF yards run mixed plant in tight bays, with pedestrians and HGV interface at peak.

Regulations this covers

PUWER 1998
EA / SEPA permits
WAMITAB guidance

Typical machine mix: telehandler · forklift · forward-tipping dumper · material handlers.

Emergency response and incident reporting

Certification: Accredited Site Safety certificate. Regs: Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and CDM 2015.

Audit findings this prevents

Visiting contractors signed in but not inducted on site-specific risks
