PASMA Working At Height Essentials Course

A half day course (typically 8.30am to 12.30pm) for anyone in your organisation that needs a quick but thorough and well-structured introduction to the key safety issues and legal implications of working at height.

This course has been designed as an introduction to the Work at Height Regulaions in 2005; the UK Government's response to the unacceptably high numbers of people being killed and injured whilst working at height.

Added Value
Our PASMA Working at Heights Essentials course offers the option of purchasing  a tower user's safety kit for each candidate, ensuring that they are properly equipped to complete their training. The top quality safety kit items can also be used once the candidate returns to work.
