As with any type of training, one of the first questions we ask our clients is which flavour they would like. HSE does not favour any training body above another but if your client insists on PASMA then PASMA it must be…
Background
The Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers’ Association (PASMA) has gained great ground in recent years and has worked closely with HSE to develop guidnce on the use of access equipment. Its courses are very well recognised and of a good standard but they are not the only option available to you.
The Health and Safety Executive insist that the training provided must be adequate, suitable and sufficient and delivered by a competent person. That doesn’t get you very far with a client who insists that those working on their site must have a particular type of ticket.
Which flavour would sir like?
Whilst we can insist that we are more than competent and may even provide training for your large client ourselves we, and you, are faced with a simple choice; get it right or off the site… The best advice is to speak to your client, or allow us to do so on your behalf, to ascertain exactly what is required and what will be accepted. Failure to do so could well result in throwing your money away on a qualification which common sense will tell you is adequate but which the client will refuse to accept.
