PASMA Low Level Access Training - HalfDay Course Overview 
 
Because low level work might seem less risky, it’s often overlooked. But falls are still one of the most common accidents and those from short heights still cause injuries. This PASMA low level access training gives you a recognised accreditation and competence in the safe use of low-level equipment. 

Through a combination of theory and practical work, our PASMA low level access training course is tailored for those working with prefabricated low level access platforms under 2.5m, such as podiums, folding step units, or room scaffold systems. You’ll gain the expertise to assemble, dismantle, inspect, use, and relocate these units with confidence. Training with Mark One means you’ll understand how to operate safely on low level equipment and why each step matters. 

 

What You’ll Learn 

Our training includes principles in theory, but also how to apply them in real-life situations. You’ll get time to build, move, inspect and dismantle low level access systems under the guidance of our experienced instructors. 

During your PASMA low level access training with Mark One, you’ll learn: 

  • The Work at Height Regulations 2005, your legal responsibilities and how they apply to low level access use 
  • Relevant standards, such as BS8620, and understanding manufacturer guidance 
  • When to stop work if conditions change 
  • Best practice in regard to fall protection 
  • How to conduct checks before using the equipment and postassembly inspections to spot faults 
  • Safe assembly, alteration, movement, and dismantling of low-level access units 
  • How to identify the parts of low-level systems and understand where failure points occur 
  • How to spot common risks like unstable ground, overloading 
  • Getting access to the platform safely and relocating your low-level unit 
  • Record keeping and tower inspection documentation 

 

Assessment & Certification 

You’ll complete a written theory assessment and a practical assessment. To succeed, you’ll need to achieve an 80per cent pass mark in the theory and demonstrate competence in the practical tasks. 

When you complete both parts of the PASMA low level access training course successfully, you’ll be awarded a PASMA PhotoCard and certificate, valid for five years. You’ll be accredited with a temporary pass immediately and will be able to show employers your accreditation. You can get your complete certification online via the Towersure app.
