PASMA Training Course - Towers for Managers - Online Classroom

Introduction:

To operate safely and legally with towers, employers must comply with Work at Height Regulations and managers must be competent to supervise work on towers. In addition, Managers must be able to identify good practice and implement it within their teams with confidence that workers have chosen the right tower, built a stable structure and, essentially, aren’t going to fall off.

This PASMA Towers for Managers certification delivers a thorough understanding of the relevant operational and safety requirements and inspection of working with Mobile Access Towers. It is specifically aimed at managers and supervisors who need to oversee work and manage others involved in assembling using Mobile Access Towers.
