PASMA Towers for Users Course (Mobile Access Tower Training)
A mobile access tower that is incorrectly assembled, poorly positioned or moved without proper checks is a serious fall risk - and the consequences of getting it wrong at height are severe. This one-day PASMA course gives delegates the knowledge and practical skills to assemble, alter, dismantle, move and inspect mobile access towers safely, using both the Through the Trap (3T) and Advanced Guardrail (AGR) methods, in compliance with working at height legislation and the PASMA Code of Practice. On successful completion, delegates receive a PASMA Certificate of Competence and a digital PASMAcard valid for five years.
