The Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association (PASMA) manages the safe use of mobile access tower scaffolding in the UK. It represents manufacturers, suppliers, and users and sets safety training standards. PASMA training courses teach participants how to safely build, use, inspect, and remove mobile access towers.
Participants can choose courses that fit their job responsibilities and take multiple courses if needed. Each course covers important topics like safety laws, stability, and practical skills. Candidates should understand English well and be physically fit, and some courses may require prior PASMA qualifications.
After completing a course, participants receive a PASMA certificate and photocard, valid for five years. To keep their certification, they must retake the course and pass both the written and practical tests related to their equipment.
