LATEST FROM PASMA - HSE prosecution after worker fractures vertebrae in fall from podium steps
/Please find below some a small quote from PASMA Chairman and Euro Towers MD Roger Verallo on a incident that took place November 2017.
Commenting on this accident, PASMA's Chairman and Managing Director of Euro Towers, Roger Verallo, said "This accident emphasises the fact that you don't need to be very far off the ground to be seriously injured by a fall. As the HSE inspector noted, podiums are a safe way to work at height - but of course, only when they're used properly by trained persons. Always choose podiums that are certified to design standard BS 8620, follow the instruction manual carefully and please, send your workers on the PASMA Low Level Access training course. Accidents like this don't need to happen."
