Rope access is a method of working at height that uses ropes and associated equipment to gain access to and from work areas, and to be supported there. It is a versatile and safe method of working at height, and can be used in a wide range of industries, including construction, maintenance, and inspection.
Rope access technicians must be highly skilled and trained to work safely at height. They must have a thorough understanding of ropework, rigging, anchoring, rescue, and health and safety. Rope access training courses typically last for several days and cover a wide range of topics.
If you are interested in a career in rope access, or if you need to work at height in your current job, then I encourage you to consider completing a IRATA rope access training course. It is a valuable skill that can open up many opportunities for you.
