Recovering telehandler competence in Inverurie after an HSE Improvement Notice
An Improvement Notice on telehandler usually cites competence, records or supervision — sometimes all three. From our Aboyne base to Inverurie is 28 miles, and we can start rebuilding the evidence pack the working day after the notice lands.

The situation on the ground in Inverurie
The inspector at your Inverurie site has left a schedule and a compliance date. What you actually need is not a training day — it's a defensible package: operator assessments dated after the notice, refreshed paperwork against LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998, and a note in the file explaining what changed.

How we deliver it
We run the assessment on your machines, in your yard, against the specific citation. Every operator gets an individual observation record, and the closing letter to HSE references the exact clause the notice raised — so the file matches the inspector's schedule item-for-item.

Why this works in Inverurie
Notice-response work is our most common non-scheduled booking. We know what an enforcement bundle looks like: dated observation sheets, matrix of operators vs machines, a summary letter to the enforcing officer, plus a plain-English change note for the toolbox talk.
FAQs — hse improvement notice recovery, Inverurie
- Can you attend our Inverurie site inside the notice compliance window?
- Yes — we hold slack in the calendar specifically for enforcement follow-up. Inverurie is 28 miles from Aboyne so mobilisation is usually next working day.
- What if the notice cited more than just training?
- Training closes one part. We also give you a checklist covering supervision, pre-use records and LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 evidence so the schedule as a whole gets closed.
- Do you write the HSE closing letter?
- We provide a draft with dates, operator names, assessment outcomes and reference to the specific clause. Your responsible person signs and submits.
- Will the certificates carry an unusual note?
- No — they are standard accredited certificates. The evidence bundle is separate and only for your file and HSE.
- What about operators who fail the reassessment?
- We record them as not yet competent and give a personalised gap plan. That is exactly what the inspector expects to see.
