Training for Mobile Access Tower Users

A PASMA course trains mobile access tower users, helping them understand how to use towers in line with relevant training requirements and safe working practices.

The course focuses on tower users rather than providing general work-at-height information. Delegates can develop an understanding of the equipment they are expected to use and the precautions required when working from a mobile access tower.

PASMA tower training can therefore be useful for businesses whose employees regularly work with mobile access towers as part of their duties.

Working Safely at Height

PASMA working at height training is relevant to people who use mobile access towers when carrying out work above ground level. Working at height requires suitable planning, appropriate equipment and an understanding of the risks associated with elevated work.

The training helps users understand the correct use of access towers and the importance of following the manufacturer's instructions and relevant workplace procedures.

PASMA working at height training should be considered part of an organisation's wider approach to managing work at height, rather than a substitute for appropriate site planning and risk assessment.

What the PASMA Training Covers

The PASMA training courses are intended to give users the knowledge needed to work safely with mobile access towers. The training covers the relevant principles associated with tower use and helps delegates understand their responsibilities when using this type of access equipment.

The course is particularly relevant for workers involved in construction, maintenance, facilities management, installation, and other suitable applications where a mobile access tower is used.

Users should also understand that training does not remove the need to follow site-specific procedures, manufacturer's instructions and applicable safety requirements.

PASMA Certificate

After completing the relevant course requirements, delegates can receive a PASMA certificate in accordance with the applicable training arrangements.

The certificate provides evidence that the delegate has completed the relevant PASMA training. Businesses should retain appropriate training records and ensure workers remain competent to carry out their duties.

Mobile Access Towers and PASMA

The term PASMA scaffold is sometimes used when referring to mobile access towers. PASMA training is specifically associated with mobile access towers and their safe use rather than general scaffolding qualifications.

The equipment should be suitable for the work being undertaken, and users should follow the manufacturer's instructions when using, moving or working from an access tower.

Online PASMA Training

Customers may also come across PASMA training online when researching tower-user courses. Online learning can provide a convenient way to access certain training material, but confirm the appropriate course format based on the training requirements and the practical use of mobile access towers.

Where practical knowledge and equipment-specific requirements are part of the training, consider the delivery format carefully before booking.

PASMA Course Price

The PASMA course price can depend on the course type, location, number of delegates and training arrangements. For this reason, there may not be one fixed price applicable to every booking.

Businesses can provide their preferred location, number of delegates and course requirements when requesting a quotation. This allows the training arrangement and associated cost to be considered according to the actual requirement.

Booking PASMA Tower Training

If your employees use mobile access towers, PASMA tower training can help them develop the knowledge required to use the equipment appropriately.

When contacting Rapid Platforms, provide details of the number of delegates, preferred training location and course requirements. This information can help establish the most suitable training arrangement.

For businesses using several forms of powered access equipment, additional training may also be relevant. Internal training options include IPAF 3a and 3b training, IPAF PAL Plus training, the IPAF 1a/1 b course, and IPAF e-learning, depending on the equipment and operator requirements.
