**Using towers safely in rail environments**

In video 4 of 10, operatives are reminded how to safely assemble and dismantle a tower. This video covers pre-use inspections, following the instruction manual, assessing ground conditions, checking the weather condition, levelling the tower and then stabilising it. There's specific guidance for anyone assembling towers on railway tracks using a scaffold trolley. Operatives will also be reminded that there are only two ways to build a tower safely - the 3T method or AGR system. Finally, we cover diismantling and altering towers.

This video series was created by PASMA, Taziker and Network Rail. It's intended to be a helpful resource for any operatives using mobile access towers or tower scaffolds in the rail industry, as a timely reminder of their PASMA training.
