Aims and Objectives

To learn about current legislation, regulations and guidance affecting work at height using mobile access towers.

Duration

This is a one-day course.

Prerequisites

Since the safe use of mobile towers requires that you consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s instruction manual, literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any tower user.

If delegates have any problems with literacy or language comprehension, they must bring them to the attention of their employer. This need not preclude them from using mobile access towers, provided their employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures, to take account of any difficulties they may have.

It would be envisaged that you will have a good working knowledge of the Work at Height Regulations and Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.

Who Should Attend
