• Why use Rope Access?

  Rope access is a very cost effective means of work positioning. Rope Access techniques enables certain work (i.e. complex structures - stadiums - inspection and maintenance works) to be carried out, which may not have been possible using other conventional access methods.
  Rope Access is a form of work positioning, originating from climbing and caving. Specific rope work was utilised to reach areas which may not have been accessible by other means. This 'Rope Work' has now been developed in order to utilise these methods to reach inaccessible areas within the work environment.

• Is it safe ?

  The HSE reports 34 fatalities in the six months to September 2008 for the sector including construction. IRATA has never recorded a death whilst working on ropes in the 19 years of compiling its annual independently-audited Work and Safety Analysis.
  The other figures in the HSE report generally show decreases; IRATA currently records an incident rate of barely three per 100000 hours worked; our members work in excess of 2.5 million hours per year!
