Why Rope Access?
The rope access industry has grown rapidly since its inception, and not without reason. Since early beginnings in Britain in the 1980′s, the adoption of mountain climbing techniques was quickly recognised by industry worldwide as a valuable method of gaining access to work areas previously considered either difficult, expensive or just plain unattainable.
Rope access now enjoys international recognition as a fast, cheap, practical, and most importantly SAFE solution for access at heights. It is used daily around the globe for performing tasks ranging from window cleaning and facade inspections on basic sites to the most complex of tasks, such as radiographic and ultrasonic inspection, welding and communications installation at the most complex and challenging of locations.
IRATA member companies have had zero fatalities on ropes in 19 years…
Quick setup times often mean that jobs can be completed in far less time and at far less cost than if using traditional access methods.
Rope access anchorage installations are often cheaper and more unobtrusive than traditional installations, and can take far less time to install, thus minimizing disruption to the work force.
Rope Access when working to the international standards of IRATA has an incident rate of 1.22-1.45 per 100′000 hours worked on ropes.
IRATA
The Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) was formed in the late 1980’s, as the result of an initiative by a number of leading companies involved in industrial rope access techniques, to provide a safe working environment for the industry.
Its formation was supported by the UK Health & Safety Executive. Safety is paramount in our industry. Since its formation IRATA International, as it is now known and its member companies have worked assiduously to improve safety in the industry, produce an industry standard set of guidelines and training requirements and provide a comprehensive assessment and registration process for operatives.
