Although not a legal requirement, PASMA certification is recognised across the UK as a high-quality safety standard when using a scaffold tower.

If you’re involved in the construction industry or your work requires the use of a scaffold tower or low-level access equipment, attending a PASMA course will ensure that you understand all the best practices when working from height.
