Course Overview

Most people put up towers because they’ve got a job to do. But for you, putting up towers is the job. It's your vocation. You’re already trained on all standard configuration towers, now it’s just non-standard towers to tackle and you’ve completed the set. These bespoke structures can fit around the needs of a site, however tall, wide or awkward it may be.  
 
It won’t be easy – it’s PASMA’s most challenging course ever. But you’ve been working towards this for a while and are ready to take the final step on your training programme.

Course Duration & Delivery

This course is conducted over 6 sessions (1 day theory online, then 5 days at the training facility), when booking select the date for your online session, you will automatically be booked on to the corresponding practical sessions*
*The practical sessions will take place in Soham.

Course Content

PASMA’s Access Tower Specialist training course will equip you with the knowledge you need to work safely with non-standard towers. After a day of theory online, spend a pretty full-on and physically demanding week at a training facility and then head back to work – now a more valuable teammate than ever! You’ll be capable of leading a bespoke tower scaffold build from start to finish:

Laws, regulations, guidance, and good practice relating to work at height

Reading design drawings

An employee’s responsibilities

Types of ties

Your responsibilities

When and where it is appropriate and safe to use ties

Differences between standard and non-standard configurations

Ties bespoke tower scaffolds

Where to find crucial safety information

Inspecting equipment

Site surveying

Making approved adaptions

Identifying hazards

High-level and buttress tower scaffolds

Application of enabling components

Inspecting bespoke tower scaffolds

Planning a bespoke tower scaffold build

Handing over bespoke tower scaffolds

Reading and using an assembly use and dismantling plan

Dismantling safely and to plan

Course Outcomes

You’ll also have an in-depth understanding of the most relevant product standards and work at height legislation/regulations, as well as technical knowledge of design constraints, loading criteria, enabling components, component lifting techniques, tying in, design drawings, assembly use and dismantling plans, hazard identification and safe assembly techniques.

You’ll be building towers that can go tall and wide, around, over and under obstacles, give access to multiple levels or stairwells, provide large (and mobile) deck areas, squeeze into tight spaces and be altered as requirements evolve.

Doing all of this with lightweight, prefabricated aluminium components is a specialist skill that is not taught anywhere else
