How PASMA Training Reduces The Costs Of Workplace Accidents

PASMA stands for the Prefabricated Access Suppliers' and Manufacturers' Association. Training approved by the association focuses on the safe use of mobile access towers and provides individuals with the knowledge and skills required to assemble, use, inspect and dismantle these towers safely.

PASMA training is especially important for professionals who need to work at height. The training helps meet the requirements of the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and ensures team members are able to keep themselves and their colleagues safe when on site.

Investing in PASMA training courses for yourself or your team members can help create a culture of safety within your organisation. As well as contributing to a reduction in workplace accidents, this could minimise associated expenses such as legal costs, compensation and insurance payments.

Enhanced Safety Awareness

PASMA tower training is all about safety. Completing the training can significantly increase participants’ awareness of hazards and safety protocols when working at height. This increased awareness is likely to lead to fewer accidents in the workplace, something that’s good news for your business and the skilled professionals you employ.

Proper Equipment Use

The proper use of specialist equipment is at the heart of PASMA training. Completing the course will ensure that participants are proficient in assembling, using and dismantling mobile access towers. Learning to do this correctly can significantly reduce the risk of falls and other equipment-related incidents.

Regulatory Compliance

There are a number of rules and regulations that are designed to raise standards and ensure worker safety across various industries. PASMA training helps businesses comply with some of these legal safety requirements. For example, it ensures workers are able to understand and follow the Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Being compliant can help businesses reduce the likelihood of accidents. Fewer accidents also mean fewer associated costs, such as legal fees, compensation payments and stoppages.

Safe Access And Egress

As well as learning to assemble, use and dismantle mobile towers, participants on PASMA training courses are also taught how to safely access and exit elevated platforms. This is crucial in preventing falls and injuries and is an important part of PASMA training.

Continuous Improvement

One of the biggest benefits of PASMA training is that it helps to promote a culture of continuous safety improvement within an organisation. Creating and emphasising this culture encourages workers to stay up to date with best practices and new safety measures. It also ensures employees put safety at the centre of everything they do.
