DVDsteps up low level safety

PASMA, the trade association for the mobile access tower industry, has published a new DVD/CD called "Accidents can happen even at low level". Aimed at owners and users of low level access equipment - defined by PASMA as having a maximum platform height of 2.5m - it provides information and guidance on how to use folding step units and folding tower units safely and productively.

The DVD covers everything from undertaking the initial risk assessment, checking components prior to assembly and following manufacturer's instructions, to assembling the unit, checking before use and completing the necessary inspection record.

The 16 minute DVD complements the association's low level access training course and highlights some of the most common errors associated with this type of equipment.
