PASMA Training – Low Level Access

Low level access platforms (also known as podium steps or room scaffolds) provide a safe and stable platform for someone to be able to work at heights of under 2.5m.
They are a safe alternative to ladders and are typically light weight, easy to manoeuvre and transport. Even though the distance off the ground may not seem that great, there is still the risk of injury if the equipment is not used properly so training on these platforms is important.
