PASMA Tower Training

The Work at Height Regulations 2005 require that the assembly, dismantling or alteration of Mobile Access Towers should only be undertaken by a competent person, or if being trained, under the supervision of a competent person.

Mobile Access Tower (MAT) operators must possess such technical knowledge, experience or training as may be appropriate, having regard to the nature of the activity, or be supervised by such a person.
