BSD Training Ltd has unveiled seminars aimed at construction workers who operate at hazardous heights.

Due to 2005 working at height regulations, all employees who work at height need to show that they have been trained to do so.

As well as having to comply with the law, adequate training is also necessary for insurance cover.

BSD Training runs a PASMA registered course, which issues delegates with a national registered operator card approved by the awarding body.

The PASMA course provides an introduction to Mobile Access Towers, as well as discussing tower assembly; stability; safe use of towers; repositioning towers; tower inspection; care and maintenance; tower dismantle and regulations and standards.
