The PASMA Mobile Scaffold Tower with Cantilevers course is a one-day training course for people who need to assemble, disassemble, adjust, move, and check mobile towers with cantilevers.
Mobile scaffold towers with cantilevers are more complicated than regular scaffolds, making them harder to set up, take down, and move safely. The training helps workers learn how to keep the towers stable and manage the extra weight from the cantilevers to reduce the risk of tipping or collapsing.
The PASMA Mobile Scaffold Tower with Cantilevers course covers important topics, including the laws and guidelines for working safely at height, hazards to watch out for, and how to safely assemble, adjust, and dismantle these towers. It also teaches best practices for fall protection and how to inspect completed mobile towers.
Only those who have completed the PASMA Standard Tower or PASMA Combined Tower & Low-Level Access course within the last five years, have a valid certificate, and can provide proof can attend the scaffold tower training.
After finishing the theory training, you’ll take a multiple-choice test. If you pass, you’ll move on to the practical part, building a scaffold tower with cantilevers.
Students who pass the theory and practical assessments will receive the PASMA Certificate and Photocard, valid for five years.
Before signing up for this training, you must have completed the PASMA Tower for Users or PASMA Combined Tower and Low-Level Access course. You will need to show your Photo ID.
You should also feel confident working at heights and be physically able to complete the practical assessment on the day.
It is important to understand written and spoken English well to read safety notices and instruction manuals.

session
In this unit, you will learn the basics of mobile scaffold towers, specifically how they are used with cantilevers. The course will cover the types of towers available and their purposes. You will also understand the importance of choosing the right tower for different situations.
This section will overview the legal frameworks governing Work at Height, including the Work at Height Regulations 2005. You will learn about the responsibilities of employers and employees, the importance of risk assessments, and how these regulations apply to using mobile scaffold towers.
You will study the health and safety procedures for working at heights. This unit will cover best practices for preventing accidents, recognising risks, and ensuring safety measures are in place. You will learn about personal protective equipment (PPE) and the role of safety briefings in maintaining a safe working environment.
In this section, you will become familiar with the various parts of a mobile scaffold tower, including their functions and how they work together. The unit will also cover routine maintenance practices to ensure the towers remain safe and functional, including checks for wear and tear and instructions on addressing any issues.
This unit will focus on the importance of keeping accurate tower inspection records. You will learn what details should be documented, how to conduct inspections and the significance of maintaining these records for safety compliance and accountability.
Here, you will learn about ensuring tower stability, including tying the tower to structures when necessary. The unit will cover factors that affect stability, how to properly secure a tower, and techniques for assessing whether a tower is stable before use.
This section will discuss the hazards of using mobile scaffold towers with cantilevers. You will learn how to identify these risks and the strategies to mitigate them, including understanding environmental factors and user behaviours that can contribute to accidents.
In this unit, you will explore your responsibilities when using mobile scaffold towers. This includes understanding your role in maintaining safety, following regulations, reporting hazards, and ensuring proper equipment use.
This one-day course is for individuals who must assemble, dismantle, alter, move, and inspect mobile towers with cantilevers.
Mobile scaffold towers with cantilevers are more complex than standard scaffolds, making safe assembly and movement more challenging. Proper training helps ensure stability and manage the additional weight to minimise tipping or collapse risks.
The course includes legislation and regulations for working at height, hazards associated with cantilever towers, assembly and dismantling techniques, counterbalance calculations, fall protection best practices, and inspection protocols.
Delegates must have a current PASMA Tower for Users Photocard and a working knowledge of working at height.
The course can be conducted at a registered PASMA training centre or your premises, provided the venue and equipment meet specific requirements.
Successful delegates will receive a PASMA Certificate of Training and a Photo ID Card, valid for five years.
Yes, the course includes safety measures, such as fall protection, hazard recognition, and proper inspection practices, to ensure the safe use of mobile towers.
In construction, cantilevers refer to structural elements supported on one end and extend outwards without additional support on the other end. This design allows for overhanging sections of structures, such as balconies, bridges, or roofs.
