About This Quiz
Check the choices that keep a mobile scaffold tower stable and its users protected. These 25 original questions cover competent assembly, compatible parts, base support, stabilisers, protected access, loading, movement and inspection.
Scope and independent practice
Independent practice material, not an official PASMA assessment or proof of tower assembly competence. Regulatory questions use Great Britain HSE guidance. The seven-day construction inspection rule in this quiz applies where a person could fall 2 metres or more from the working platform; other inspection duties still apply. Follow the correct tower manual, site assessment and any stricter limits.
How to use this quiz
Choose one best answer and review the explanation. The practice pass mark is 70%, answers are shuffled and retakes are allowed. A quiz cannot verify an erected tower. Use trained competent people, an approved assembly method and effective inspection and access controls before use.
