Course overview

Towersafe is our own training course, developed in-house and designed for all site-based teams. The half-day, six-hour course covers the practical and regulatory essentials of selecting and using mobile access towers safely on site.

What the course covers

• Current legislation, regulations and guidance affecting working at height with mobile access towers
• The PASMA Code of Practice
• Product standards EN 1004-1, BS 8620 and BS 1139:6
• Assembling, altering and dismantling towers using current best practice and approved build methods for fall protection
• Inspection of completed mobile access towers and completion of Tower Inspection Records
• The hazards affecting the use of mobile access towers and how to avoid them

Assessment

Assessment is by open-book theory and a practical session building a tower to the user guide. Instructor-to-delegate ratio is a maximum of 1:8. On successful completion, delegates receive an ATJ Plant Attendance Certificate.

Who it’s for

Towersafe is ideal for teams who need practical, applied tower training tailored to their site environment — particularly for groups beyond the standard PASMA delegate cap, sites with specific tower configurations, or teams who want training built around their own equipment and processes.
