You will need to provide us with a suitable training room for the theory presentation and course review/critique. Does the training room have: |
|
|
|
A 240 volt power supply? |
|
|
Enough space for the instructor to set up a projector, laptop and screen (and a desk/table to set them up on)? |
|
|
Adequate ventilation/heating? |
|
|
Adequate seating and desk space for each candidate to allow notes to be taken and the theory test to be taken? |
|
|
Uninterrupted use for the whole morning and for the 1/2 hour course review/critique at the end of the afternoon? |
Refreshments
|
|
Have refreshments been arranged nearby for the candidates and instructor? |
Tower equipment
You will need to supply suitable and sufficient aluminium tower equipment along with current instruction sets to allow the practical session to be completed. We will require one tower if four or less candidates booked, two towers if five or more candidates booked, both with specification as below:
|
|
Is the tower equipment manufactured to BS EN 1004-1 or EN1004-1? |
|
|
Are all components in good condition and good working order? |
|
|
Are there sufficient components to build a tower to a minimum platform height of 4m (using BOTH the 3T/through the trap AND advance guardrail methods of assembly)? You will find a list of the components required in the current manufacturer’s instruction manual for your tower – this can normally be downloaded free of charge from the PASMA website – see below |
|
|
Do you have copies of your tower’s current instruction manuals (using BOTH the 3T and Advance Guardrail methods of assembly) for the instructor, plus a copy for each candidate? The current version of most instruction manuals can be downloaded free of charge from the PASMA web site at www.pasma.co.uk – click on “Instruction Manual Downloads” |
Practical Training Area
|
|
Is there an indoor practical training area of at least 6m x 6m square with a ceiling height of at least 6m to allow the tower to be built to PASMA’s minimum required platform height of 4m? |
|
|
Will the area be available for the whole afternoon without interruption? |
|
|
Is the area free of traffic? |
|
|
Is the area quiet enough to ensure that the instructor can be heard? |
Please Note: The training can take place outside, but, at the sole discretion of the instructor may be cancelled or postponed if weather conditions are judged to be unsafe or unsuitable
PPE
|
|
Have you instructed all candidates to bring suitable safety footwear? |
|
|
Have you checked to make sure that the candidate’s own safety footwear, and any other PPE that you are supplying will provide adequate protection during the practical training session (some sites have specific requirements for PPE)? |
Car parking
|
|
Have you arranged parking for the instructor close to the point of training? |
|
|
If not, have you arranged safe and secure off-loading/loading facilities along with details of a nearby public car park (please phone 0333 666 1881 with details) |
Car parking charges will be added, at cost, to the cost of your training, as will congestion charges etc
Course timings
|
|
Have you informed all candidates that this is a full day’s course (normally 8.30 to 4.30), and that prompt arrival is essential? |
