BETA 1450/850 Guide
Introduction
Please read this guide carefully.
The BETA tower is a Load Class 3 tower as specified in BS EN 1004:2004.
This instruction manual contains all the information required to correctly
assemble the BETA mobile access tower incorporating the PASMA
(Prefabricated Access Suppliers’ and Manufacturers Association) approved
3T (Through the Trap) method of assembly as endorsed by the Health and
Safety Executive.
The primary method of safe assembly is the incorporation of Advanced
Guardrail protection (PlusGard™) to provide collective measures enabling
full compliance with the Work at Height Regulations 2005.
The provision and utilisation of Advanced guardrail protection is
recommended for all operatives erecting BETA Mobile Access Towers.
This Manual should be used in conjunction with a suitable Risk
Assessment and Method Statement (by user) relative to the project to
be undertaken, Work at Height Regulations 2005, Regulation 6(1). It
must be noted that all employers have a responsibility to ensure that
work methods (practices) and adequate facilities/ resources (including
work equipment) are provided to eliminate or minimise risks, Work at
Height Regulations 2005, Regulations 6, 7, 8 and Schedule 3 Part 2.
Please ensure you read and fully understand the manual. Follow the
content during assembly and ensure that the tower is complete prior
to use.
This manual must be made available to the user/ assembler at all
times.
Sufficient training, combined with necessary experience, must also be
considered and be appropriate to achieve competency to undertake
basic mobile access tower assembly.
Only competent (and qualified) personnel should undertake
erection, dismantling and alteration (and organisation, planning
and supervision) of basic mobile access towers, Regulation 5, the
Work at Height Regulations 2005 and consideration should be given
to providing additional (minimum) training beforehand, if required
(Regulation 6 (5)(b)).

Inspection, Care and Maintenance
Handle tower components with care to avoid damage to either the
person handling the equipment or the equipment itself. Components
need to be firmly secured and properly supported, when being
transported, to prevent damage. In long term storage, towers
shoukld be protected from the weather. Prior to use, inspect all tower
components for signs of damage or defects. Damaged, defective
or incorrect components must be marked as unfit for use, withdrawn
from use and either repaired or destroyed. Castors and adjustable legs
should be periodically lubricated to keep them free running.
