Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Have you worked with sites near North-East Scotland before?

Regularly — we work around GlenDronach Distillery, Huntly Industrial Estate, Strathbogie farms. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.

Which regulations does telehandler map to here?

LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the highways civils client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

Why teams in North-East Scotland book this

Telehandler Training for highways civils in North-East Scotland needs to clear three bars at once: CDM 2015, Chapter 8 (TSM), PUWER 1998, LOLER 1998. That's how we structure the day — practical assessment on your kit, paperwork that survives audit.

Civils & Highways context: Aberdeenshire road works run live-traffic interface, narrow rural carriageways and weather-driven possessions.

Regulations this covers

CDM 2015
Chapter 8 (TSM)
PUWER 1998
LOLER 1998

Typical machine mix: forward-tipping dumper · telehandler · MEWP · banksman/slinger.

What the course covers

Boom control, load charts and stability
Attachment changes and lifting accessories
Travel with raised loads and uneven ground handling

Certification: Accredited telehandler operator certificate. Regs: LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998.

Typical telehandler scenarios on North-East Scotland sites

Scenario 1
Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot
Scenario 2
Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record
Scenario 3
Tele-handling round livestock or farm pedestrians without segregation

Audit findings this prevents

Operating outside the load chart because the boom angle was eyeballed
Forgetting that a man-cage requires a thorough examination every 6 months, not 12
Pulling away with a raised load on uneven ground — the top cause of tip-overs

Why this matters

30%

of UK construction plant fatalities involve telehandlers or excavators overturning.
