PASMA launches Tower Safety Week 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 – including cleaning, maintenance and facilities management.

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.

PASMA’s chairman Carl Evans said: “Tower Safety Week is dedicated to keeping people safe when working at height. It turns the spotlight on towers and provides a unique opportunity to inform and educate both existing and potential users.”  

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.
