Delegate Information
No formal qualifications or experience are necessary, but it would be beneficial if delegates had a basic understanding of work-at-height issues.
This course is suitable for all delegates responsible for the assembly, use, dismantling, alteration, moving and inspecting of mobile access towers.
Since the safe use of mobile access towers requires that you consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, literacy and language comprehension are essential for any tower user.
Similarly, since the assembly and use of mobile access towers can be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and healthy. Delegates 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, including prescribed drugs or psychiatric illness.
Certification and Grants
A PASMA Photo-card valid for 5 years will be issued to successful delegates who complete both theory and practical assessment sessions at the level they attend. A hard copy certificate can be requested at an additional cost if required.
Companies who are CITB registered and meet their grant scheme eligibility requirements may be able to claim for a short course duration grant.
