Posted By A Campbell David, Once the scaffold has been erected & inspected by a competent person (such as PASMA trained) the user would only be required to be competent in it's use... such as access egress, working at height, constraints of use, misuse, electricity, weather constraints etc. Unless it was moved... required adjustment or in place for more than 7 days

Posted By Stuart Nagle PASMA training only relates to Mobile Scaffold Towers. It is not a training qualification for fixed scaffolding, which must be errected and inspected by trained and competent scaffolders. Erection, inspection etc of Mobile scaffold towers must be undertaken by a 'competent person' (such as a PASMA trained person) after erection and before use, and then every 7 days afterwards, or if altered, dismantled and re-erected etc. If however the mobile scaffold tower is merely moved (e.g. on its wheels) to another location within the same site, it does not require re-inspection following the move! as with fixed scaffolding it must be fully kitted out with toe/brick guards etc and the requirments for safety in use are similar to fixed scaffolds, i.e. fixing to a structure to secure if possible etc particularly at very high levels, and outriggers etc must be eployed at all times. Other details can be downloaded from the PASMA web site (or I would suppose other similar web sites by qualified training providers/card issuers), and HSE have a recently revised information sheet downloadable from the HSE web site. Hope this helps Stuart
