The smarter way to manage tower inspections

Recorded 8 March 2022

Join PASMA for the when, why, who and how of inspecting towers. Learn which workers are considered competent to inspect towers and how often they should do it. Hear about PASMA’s approved checklist for inspecting a mobile access tower step-by-step and the requirements for recording an inspection.

Then, PASMA shows you a smarter way to manage it all. Their new tool means that, for the first time, you can be sure that all towers under your control are assembled correctly and that inspections are thorough and recorded properly.

CPD certificates

If you attended the webinar live, you should have received an email on Friday 11 March containing a link to your CPD certificate. These certificates are personalised and include a QR code to verify that it’s genuine. They were automatically generated using the information you provided when you registered for the event and unfortunately cannot be amended.

We use a provider called Gutenberg Certs to issue certificates. If you can’t find yours, please search your inbox and junk folder for ‘Gutenberg Certs’. 

We’re unable to issue a personalised or verified CPD certificate to anyone who watches the webinar on-demand or who watched live on someone else’s screen or account but wasn’t personally registered, sorry. However, you can download a self-certification for your records.
