What is Rope Access?
Rope access refers to a set of techniques where ropes and specialized hardware are used as the primary means of providing access and support to workers. Generally a two-rope system is employed: the working rope supports the worker and the safety rope provides back-up fall protection.
Industrial Rope Access Trade Association
Over the last 30 years, the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) constantly improved these technique. IRATA International has a formal training and certification scheme, and grading structure and all IRATA International members are obliged to use this scheme. Rope access technicians are grouped into three technical grades, depending upon their experience and level of assessment. The Association is now recognised as the world’s leading authority on industrial rope access.
All of our field technicians are following IRATA training and examination scheme. Most of us have been assessed for the highest level of competency (Level 3) several years ago. Our broad experience allow us to say that there is no work at height that can not be done safely!
