Literacy, Fitness & Health Statement (Extract from the PASMA Code of Practice): Since the safe use of access equipment 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 user of access equipment.
Similarly, since the assembly and use of access equipment can be physically demanding, users should be physically fit and in good health and should, generally, not have problems with eyesight,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 any access equipment, they must bring them to the attention of their employer. This need not preclude them from using access equipment, provided their employer conducts an assessment and is able to put into place adequate measures, to take account of any difficulties they may have.
Qualifications & Experience: No qualifications or experience are required for this course.
