Literacy, Fitness & Health (Extract from the PASMA Code of Practice)
Since the safe use of mobile towers requires that you consult safety notices and read and thoroughly understand the manufacture’s instruction manual,
literacy and language comprehension are important requirements for any tower user. Similarly, since the assembly and use of mobile access towers can
be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally, not have problems with eyesight or hearing, heart disease,
high blood pressure, epilepsy, fear of heights / vertigo, giddiness / difficulty with balance, impaired limb function, alcohol or drug dependence or psychiatric
illness. If delegates have any problems with literacy or language comprehension, or have any doubts about their fitness to use mobile access towers, they
must bring them to the attention of their employer. This need not preclude them from using mobile access towers, provided their employer conducts an
assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures, to take account of any difficulties they may have.
