• How to safely use mobile access towers

• How to inspect mobile access towers

• How to identify hazards relating to their use

If you’re new to towers or tower training, Towers for Users is the ideal starter course. It’s our flagship course, taken by more than 70,000 delegates each year. Once you’ve completed it, you become eligible for more advanced courses which cover different tower configurations, like Linked Towers, Towers on Stairways, Cantilever Towers or Towers with Bridges.

Through a combination of theory and practical work, you will learn about:

• Work at height responsibilities of employers, employees and suppliers

• Standards affecting the manufacture and use of mobile access towers

• Where to find crucial safety information

• When it’s safe to use a mobile access tower, and when it’s not

• Carrying out pre-use checks and post-assembly inspections on mobile access towers

Your training instructor will give you an electronic or printed copy of the course notes and a PASMA Code of Practice that you can refer back to. 

On successfully completing the theory and practical segments of the course, you’ll receive a PASMA PhotoCard and Certificate. Your PASMA card (or ticket) will open doors to jobs in all sorts of industries, so be sure to highlight it to employers.

This course is suitable for anyone who will be using mobile access towers at home or at work, including:

• Those who have never used towers before
