About PASMA

Founded in 1974, the Prefabricated Access Suppliers and Manufacturers Association (PASMA), is the recognised focus and authority for mobile access towers. As such it advances safety, standards and best practice across a wide range of sectors and represents the interests of manufacturers, suppliers, specifies and users.

Independent and self-financing, it is helping to shape and support the future of the industry through the knowledgeable and enthusiastic involvement of its members.

Working in collaboration with other trade and professional bodies, industry regulators and key decision makers, PASMA fulfils a number of distinct roles:

It provides and governs the industry standard training scheme for mobile access towers. Standard and Advanced Courses deliver proficiency and competence as required by the Work at Height Regulations. For many, the PASMA certificate and ID card are the only acceptable proof of competence.

It sponsors research, innovation and best practice. Most, if not all, the training and technical advances in towers and tower use have involved PASMA and its various specialist committees. These are made up of experts who know and understand towers and speak the language.

It helps set the standard.
