Tower Scaffold / PASMA

This course is for all individuals who would need to erect, use and dismantle alloy towers. It is especially useful for supervisors and anybody who controls the way in which work is carried out. PASMA training is the most widely recognised form of Prefabricated Mobile Access Tower Training in the UK. Sage Safety & Training’s course content, instructors and training premises have been subjected to a rigorous assessment to ensure compliance with PASMA standards. Additionally, we are subject to an ongoing audit regime conducted by the Training Scheme Auditor to ensure that we continue to meet the high standards demanded by PASMA. PASMA training can be conducted off site, at client premises, subject to a suitable tower and appropriate documentation being made available.

Who should attend All personnel who are required to work on or with alloy scaffold towers.

Prior knowledge An awareness of Health & Safety issues would be an advantage but not essential.
