 PASMA Training On Site Nationwide
 PASMA mobile access tower training can be carried out at your own premises provided that suitable facilities and equipment are available.
The on site training requirements set out below are the MINIMUM STANDARDS REQUIRED BY PASMA to allow us to conduct training on your premises:
Training Room
- The training room should have a 240 volt power supply and sufficient space for the instructor to set up a projector, laptop and screen (a desk/table will be needed for the laptop/projector)
- The training room should be adequately ventilated/heated
- Each candidate should have adequate seating and desk space to allow notes to be taken and the theory test to be taken
- The instructor and candidates will require uninterrupted use of this area for the whole morning and for the 1/2 hour course critique at the end of the afternoon
Refreshments
Refreshments should be made available reasonably nearby for the candidates and instructor
Equipment
You will need to supply suitable and sufficient aluminium tower equipment to allow the practical session to be completed:
- The equipment must be manufactured to BS EN 1004 (or BS1139)
- All components must be in good condition
- Sufficient components to build a tower to a minimum platform height of 4m using the 3T (through the trap) method. You will find a list of the components required in the current manufacturer’s instruction manual for your tower – this can normally be downloaded free of charge from the PASMA website – see below
- A copy of the current manufacturers instruction manual for your tower using the 3T method must be made available to the instructor, plus a copy for each candidate (the current version of most instruction manuals can be downloaded free of charge from the PASMA web site at www.pasma.co.uk – click on “Instruction Manual Downloads”)
Practical Training Area
- You will need to provide an indoor area of at least 6m x 6m square with a ceiling height of at least 6m to allow the tower to be built to PASMA’s minimum required platform height of 4m
- The surface of the training area should be reasonably firm and level and capable of supporting the tower safely
- The training area must be free from overhead hazards such as craneage
- Training may take place outside, but, at the sole discretion of the instructor may be cancelled or postponed if weather conditions are judged to be unsafe or unsuitable
- The area should be free from traffic and excessive noise to ensure that the instructor can be heard
PPE
 All candidates must bring suitable safety footwear- We will provide a Tower User's Safety Kit for each candidate which will be sufficient PPE in most cases, but please confirm by risk assessment
- The Tower User's Safety Kit comprises a hard hat with chin strap, hi-vis vest, gloves, spirit level and a PASMA inspection tag
Car parking
Because of the amount of equipment needed (laptop, projector, camera, course paperwork and books, Tower User’s Safety Kits etc) the instructor will need to come by car
- Please arrange for parking for the instructor close to the point of training
- Failing that, safe and secure off-loading/loading facilities must be provided along with details of a nearby public car park
- Car parking charges will be added, at cost, to the cost of your training, as will congestion charges etc
Course timings etc
Please ensure that candidates are made aware that this is a full day’s course, and that prompt arrival is essential:
- Start Time: The instructor will aim to arrive at approximately 8am, with a view to starting the course at 8.30am
- Breaks: A 15 minute break is taken mid morning, with a half hour break for lunch. Within reason, we can arrange these breaks at times to suit you
- Finish Time: We will aim for a finish time of 4.30pm
Instructor induction
Please advise us if our instructor will need to undergo a site induction before commencing the course. If so:
- What time will the induction start, and how long will it take
- Details of any documents or ID the instructor needs to bring
