Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

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

Regularly — we work around Tullos Industrial Estate, Donside Paper site (legacy/regen), Wellheads area operators. 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 oil & gas client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher every 3 years; project-mobilisation cohorts on 2-week notice., sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Why teams in North-East Scotland book this

North-East Scotland is built on oil & gas, and Major-client audits (BP, Shell, Equinor) reject expired or non-evidenced certificates within hours. On-site Telehandler Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Oil & Gas Supply Chain context: Aberdeen's energy supply chain runs on auditable competence — every operator photo, ticket and refresher date is challenged at audit.

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

Regulations this covers

PUWER 1998
LOLER 1998
DSEAR 2002
ATEX-compliant work areas

Typical machine mix: forklift · telehandler · MEWP · mobile crane · 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.

Why this matters

30%

of UK construction plant fatalities involve telehandlers or excavators overturning.

Source: HSE construction fatal injuries report.

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
