- Lanyard clipped to a scaffold tube of unknown anchor rating
- No suspension-trauma protocol — death can occur inside 20 minutes of a fall arrest
Why teams in North-East Scotland book this
Plant operator competence in North-East Scotland is mostly about evidence. Working at Height Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.
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.

FAQs
- Will our North-East Scotland site suit on-site delivery?
- North-East Scotland sites are mostly trade counters, builders' merchant yards, small workshops, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A944.
- What usually goes wrong with working at height on oil & gas sites?
- Major-client audits (BP, Shell, Equinor) reject expired or non-evidenced certificates within hours. We build the assessment day around that failure mode rather than a generic syllabus, so the evidence you get back answers the question your auditor actually asks.
- What happens if the weather closes the site?
- We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.
- Do you cover sites near North-East Scotland?
- Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.
- Can novice and refresher run in the same cohort?
- Yes. We run mixed cohorts routinely — the instructor splits the day so novice candidates aren't slowed by refresher assessment.
