Course aims

Delegates will gain an understanding of current relevant legislation and be able to dismantle, erect and inspect a tower safely, as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Under the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations (1998) every employer shall ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received adequate training for the purposes of Health & Safety.

PASMA has long been committed to the principles of providing safe, efficient access equipment and relevant training courses. As an accredited member of PASMA, we offer a wide range of courses relating to mobile access equipment. These short programmes include classroom tuition, practical sessions and assessment on the safe erection, dismantling and use of mobile alloy and fibreglass access towers, which are approved to BS EN 1004 : 2004 and which carry a current British Standard or other equivalent mark of approval. Delegates will be assessed with a written and practical test during the course.
