Learning Objectives
Our PASMA Towers on Stairs Course delivers a minimum of 7 hours of instruction and is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 8 delegates, providing training on mobile access towers manufactured in aluminium alloy or GRP fibreglass, approved to BS EN 1004: 2004 which carry a current British Standard or other equivalent mark of approval.
Course Aim
This course is aimed at personnel who are or will be responsible for assembling, dismantling, moving, inspecting and using mobile access towers on stairways, escalators and stepped levels. Delegates are required to have successfully passed the PASMA Tower for Users Course or PASMA Combined Tower & Low Level Access Course prior to booking this course. A working knowledge of mobile access towers is an advantage.
Since the safe use of mobile access towers requires that delegates consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, English literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any tower user.
Please note that delegates will be expected to work at height whilst building a mobile access tower, so please ensure delegates are in good health and do not have a fear of heights that may preclude them from taking part in the practical assessment.
Course Overview
This Advanced course is designed for those operatives required to build stepped towers on stairways or escalators.
** Delegates must have previously attended a Tower for Users Course in order to attend this course.
