How to check PASMA qualifications

Towers are a convenient access solution for almost every job… but only when they’re used by competent people

Different towers require different PASMA qualifications because of the unique skills needed to build them safely.

As a duty holder, are you confident that PASMA qualifications are always being properly checked and verified on your sites?

Take our tower safety pledge today! Commit to ensuring your towers are only assembled by properly qualified workers and in return, you’ll receive a free quick reference guide to help you carry out the required checks.

Next time someone arrives on site to assemble, alter, inspect, move or dismantle a tower, you can verify their qualifications quickly and confidently.
