PASMA Towers for Managers - Know what ‘good’ looks like
Course Details
Towers for Managers – Lead with Confidence and Safety
Being a manager or supervisor on a construction site is no small task – especially when it comes to working at height. If you don’t know what “good practice” looks like, supervising scaffold tower usage can be a serious challenge. How can you be sure that your team is using the right towers, assembling them correctly, and working safely?
To meet Work at Height Regulations, you need to be competent in supervising work on towers. With the potential consequences of non-compliance being huge – including legal penalties and even prison sentences – it’s crucial that you’re fully trained and equipped to ensure safety on the job.
Why This Course Is Essential for Managers
As a project manager or supervisor, it’s your responsibility to ensure that all towers are safe, stable, and fit for use. This course will teach you exactly what to look for, so you can make informed decisions and take control of safety on site. Don’t leave safety to chance – get the knowledge you need to lead with confidence.
PASMA Towers for Managers will equip you with the specialist knowledge you need to keep your towers accident-free zones. Spend one day with an expert instructor and go back to work knowing how to:
- Support your teams better on site
- Send them home safe after every shift
- Meet all your legal obligations
- Inspect towers
- Identify different tower types
Through a combination of theory and group exercises, the course teaches you what to look for from the ground – before, during and after work begins. There is no practical work involved in this course; it’s all classroom-based theory. No hard hats or tower climbing required!
