Literacy, Fitness & Health:

(Extract from the PASMA Code of Practice)
Since the safe use of mobile towers requires that you consult safety notices and read
and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, literacy and
language comprehension are important requirements for any tower user
Similarly, since the assembly and use of mobile access towers can be physically
demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally,
not have problems with eyesight or hearing, heart disease, high blood pressure,
epilepsy, fear of heights / vertigo, giddiness / difficulty with balance, impaired limb
function, alcohol or drug dependence or psychiatric illness

If delegates have any problems with literacy or language comprehension, or have any
doubts about their fitness to use mobile access towers, they must bring them to the
attention of their employer. This need not preclude them from using mobile access
towers, provided their employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place
adequate measures, to take account of any difficulties they may have

Qualifications & Experience:

No formal qualifications or experience are necessary, but it would be
beneficial if delegates had a basic understanding of work at height
issues
