Industrial rope access techniques offer a comprehensive range of
work at height solutions for tasks in difficult to reach areas, Services carried out by industrial
rope access technicians can range from building maintenance and window
cleaning to painting, lifting, rigging and more.
The
benefits of using Industrial rope access are numerous, for example, the
time taken to install systems is minimal, especially when compared to
alternative solutions such as scaffolding.
There is minimal impact
on structures and surroundings including traffic flow and pedestrian
routes when using industrial rope access.
Industrial rope access
uses extremely safe codes of practice (it has the best safety record in
the field of difficult access). IRATA is recognized worldwide as the
industry standard for industrial rope access, and work can safely be
carried out at any height in almost any situation safely and
efficiently.
When carried out properly is also a very safe mode of
working at height. Rope access techniques are based on climbing and
caving techniques that were developed into a safe system for industrial
purposes as far back as the 1970's, and the constant evolution of
technique and equipment since then has led to the lowest incidence of
accidents in the whole of the access sector.
As a rule, all
Industrial rope access works should be conducted under close supervision
by suitably qualified senior personnel, and the teams should be
provided with a full risk assessment and method statement for each job
detailing particular considerations for each individual situation. In
this way it can be ensured that the workplace and workers in industrial
rope access situations are absolutely safe.
In the UK, all aspects
of work at height must be carried out in line with ISO 22846 and the Work at Height regulations (2005). Guidelines are
provided by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA), which
is recognized worldwide as the industry standard.
