TRAINING
The Construction (Health,
Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1996, require
that the installation or erection of Mobile Access Towers
should only be carried out by, or under the supervision
of, a competent person. Such a person is someone considered
to have the training, technical knowledge or experience
as may be appropriate having regard to the nature of
the activity. PASMA therefore sponsors training courses
provided only by authorised training members.
The training courses are based on a format and content
agreed by all PASMA members and draws upon their collective,
first-hand experience. Widely recognised and recommended
by safety professionals, it provides successful delegates
who pass a written and practical test with a competency
certificate and an encapsulated, credit card sized ID
card.
The Course content, instructors
and training premises are subject to a rigorous assessment
to ensure compliance with PASMA standards. After approval,
all Registered Training Centres are subject to an ongoing
audit regime conducted by the Training Scheme Auditor
to ensure that they continue to meet the high standards
demanded by PASMA.
