is PASMA certification needed, advice please?
We have to work off of a working platform inside, at a standing height of 2 metres only and the client is asking for PASMA.
We are using a low level scaffold unit but am unsure as to whether we will have to make sure one of the fitters is PASMA covered as this seems over kill as I thought it was a case of ensuring a guard rail is fitted and a method/risk statement is completed.Any advice is always appreciated.

The person erecting the tower will need the pasma. I would expect your client to ask to see the card when they get to site. I would make sure you send an installer that has one other wise would expect to get turned away.

i did my pasma and cherry picker ticket a year or so ago, as far as i know health and safety state only a competent and trained person must erect/move/dismantle towers, been doing a lot of stuff for northumbrian water over the last few year and they wont let you touch any tower or other plant unless you have a ticket for it. and as far as i know you need a pasma ticket to go hire a tower.
Its not expensive to do and only half ish day course.
Iv just sent off for my cscs card aswell, commercial sites are now all going cscs card without it you wont even get on site, its £17.50 for the cscs health and safety exam and then £30 for the card.
