PASMA Training Hereford
Accredited PASMA Training in Hereford
PASMA training Hereford gives your team the skills to safely build, inspect, and dismantle mobile access towers across real site environments. Hereford businesses working in construction, property refurbishment, and commercial maintenance across HR1 and HR2 send their people up on mobile towers regularly, and the legal duty to make sure those people are properly trained sits firmly with the employer.
Falls from height remain a leading cause of fatal workplace injuries in the UK. This makes proper training essential for maintaining safe working practices.
PASMA Training Hereford: How We Work
Harris Safety Training delivers PASMA training in Hereford for sole traders, site crews, and companies running mobile tower operations across multiple projects. Each course is led by a PASMA-qualified instructor with real construction and commercial site experience behind them, ensuring your team receives practical training aligned with real site conditions.
Instruction runs at a local venue in the Hereford area or directly at your own site across HR1, HR2, and surrounding postcodes. The entire process from initial enquiry to certification is managed by one team at Harris Safety Training. There is no outsourcing, no third-party involvement, and no inconsistency in how your course is handled.
Businesses whose teams also operate powered access platforms on site can pair this with our IPAF training courses to bring both certifications under one provider without splitting your training across multiple companies.
Course Structure and Categories
Tower operatives, renewal candidates, and site supervisors all have a place on our PASMA courses in Hereford. The content spans the complete lifecycle of safe tower use, taking delegates through site and ground assessment, correct build sequences, stability and loading principles, inspection requirements before and during use, risk identification, and the duties placed on both the operative and their employer by current legislation.
Programme choices available through Harris Safety Training include Towers for Users, Towers for Managers, and combined formats where a single delegate or team needs coverage across both roles. PASMA governs the certification framework your team will be trained and assessed against, and the card issued on completion is recognised by main contractors, site managers, and clients across every industry that uses mobile towers in the UK.
Those whose day-to-day work takes them beyond tower-based tasks to other forms of work at height will find our working at heights training fills the remaining gaps in their compliance and awareness.
What It Costs and What You Get
Course fees for PASMA training in Hereford start from £125 + VAT per person. Every booking covers a structured theory session and a hands-on practical assessment. Passing delegates walk away with their PASMA Card, the industry-recognised proof of tower competence that site managers and principal contractors look for before allowing anyone to erect or use a mobile tower on their sites.
Multi-delegate bookings are welcome, and businesses that want training delivered at their own location rather than a venue can request on-site delivery when they get in touch. To browse available dates and lock in a booking, head to our upcoming courses page and pick a slot that works around your schedule.
What Sets Harris Safety Training Apart
- Accredited by PASMA: certification issued through Harris Safety Training is recognised across construction and industrial sectors throughout the UK.
- Instructors who have worked the job: the people delivering your course have built and inspected mobile towers on live sites. That background shapes how they teach and what your team takes away from the day.
- Wholly in-house delivery: from the point of enquiry through to the moment your team receives their cards, every part of the process is handled by Harris Safety Training directly. Nothing is passed on or outsourced.
- Training that fits your operation: venue-based sessions and on-site delivery are both on the table across Hereford and the surrounding HR postcode areas, so training works around your commitments rather than the other way around.
- Pricing with no hidden additions: every quote starts from £125 + VAT and is set out in full before any commitment is required from you.
frequently asked questions
Any operative who builds, moves, adjusts, or works from a mobile access tower on a construction site, in a commercial building, or during a maintenance programme in the Hereford area needs to hold a current PASMA card. The responsibility for making sure that certification is in place before work begins falls on the employer. Under the Work at Height Regulations 2005, businesses that allow untrained staff to work from mobile towers are in breach of their legal duty of care.
Towers for Users is built for operatives who physically handle towers on site, covering assembly, inspection, movement, and safe use. Towers for Managers is designed for people who are responsible for planning or overseeing tower work rather than carrying it out themselves. Where a team member does both, the combined format addresses both sets of responsibilities within a single course. Harris Safety Training will confirm which option fits your workforce before you commit to a booking.
Towers for Users is a one-day programme in the majority of cases. Manager-level and combined formats run longer depending on the volume of content and the number of people being put through assessment on the day. We set out the expected duration clearly when confirming your booking, so there are no surprises on the day
Anyone assembling, moving, inspecting, or supervising mobile access towers should complete appropriate training.
Yes. Delegates are guided through their duties under relevant work at height legislation and safe system requirements.
