PASMA Tower Safety week is here once again. It is running from 12th to 17th November 2017. It was established to contribute towards the reduction of falls from heights by promoting towers. As we are a PASMA member and your local tower specialist, we are proud to be a part of it. PASMA Tower Safety Week focuses on raising awareness of the most common dangers that are seen on site when working with towers. PASMA also promote safe working practices.
Falls from height are still one of the major causes of injury within the workplace and PASMA works continually to reduce accidents on mobile access towers through training, education and raising awareness. In the UK alone, 18% of accidents reported in 2017 happened as a result of falling from height.
