PASMA launches Tower Safety Week 2016

PASMA, the trade association representing the international mobile access tower industry, has launched Tower Safety Week 2016 which runs from today until Friday 18 November 2016.

With a focus on ‘working well with towers’, it’s set to promote height safety, develop industry knowledge and skills, and connect with a wide range of tower using industries – from construction and maintenance to facilities management and retail.

Throughout Tower Safety Week – now in its fifth year – Partner organisations will be showing their support by spreading the safety message through new infographic content and by hosting their own special events during the week.

PASMA members across the globe, their customers and industry at large will also celebrate the versatility of towers and their increasing use in a wide range of different and challenging applications.

Resources for 2016 include an expanded website, new campaign graphics and the return of old favourites such as the High Tower Challenge and the See a tower, take a selfie! competition, aptly re-named Tower selfie GO! for 2016.

Above all, says PASMA, the event will provide a snapshot of national tower use and thereby help shape future safety led campaigns, training and user guidance.
