PASMA Training – Towers for Users
Mobile access towers (also known as aluminium towers) are light weight structures which have been designed to be assembled and dismantled easily and quickly.
They are a familiar sight on work sites across many industries and are used to reach heights of up to 12m indoors and up to 8m outdoors.
Compared to ladders, towers provide a safer alternative to working at height but it is still very important to be correctly trained to use them.
