Whether you are an individual or a large company, the Work at Height Regulations impact upon your work procedures and methods whilst at work.  ALL operatives working at height must be competent, which includes an understanding of the equipment they are using to work at height.  The PASMA Standard Operator’s Course is designed to instruct up to a maximum of 12 delegates at a time, and is aimed at anyone in your organisation who assemble, alter, dismantle, move, inspect and most importantly USE Alloy or Fibreglass Mobile Access Towers in the work place.  This not only includes construction sites but all work places, such as Schools, Offices and Factories both internally and externally.  This course is available as an Open Course at our Training Centres in Southend and Chelmsford, or On-Site (subject to suitable conditions).
