PASMA Mobile Access Tower Training

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require that the erection, dismantle, and alteration of mobile access towers should be carried out by a competent person.

PASMA training is the most widely recognised form of tower training in the UK, and on successful completion of a PASMA training course with ASTRA, each delegate will be competent as required, with a card and certificate as proof.
