Industrial Rope Access for Companies for Rescue & Safety Training


Rope Access Training & Equipment

Rope access is the application of specialized rope techniques to place workers in hard-to-reach locations in the vertical environment. Rope access techniques are often used by rescue and safety teams, high-rise window cleaners, steeplejacks, bridge and building inspectors, tower repairmen, arborists, and construction specialists.

Rope access is a work system using ropes and specialized hardware as the primary means of supporting workers. Rope-access technicians descend, ascend, and traverse ropes to access the work area. The support of the rope completely eliminates the likelihood of a fall. Rope-access workers use a back-up fall protection system in the unlikely failure of their primary means of support. This redundant system is usually achieved by using two ropes - a working line and a safety line. Modern rope-access equipment, techniques, supervision, and training can be combined to produce an exceptionally safe and efficient way to solve vertical access problems. Rope access can also be integrated with traditional access methods where appropriate.

Benefits from Rope Access:
• Access provision can be a significant proportion of any project's costs. Rope Access techniques can replace traditional solutions and offer clients significant savings.
• Single point of contact for the client - providing both access and contracting. A single source reduces costs, provides easier site co-ordination and controls costs.

• Single point of contact for the client - providing both access and contracting. A single source reduces costs, provides easier site co-ordination and controls costs.
• Rope systems are quick to install and dismantle. By removing operational and time constraints, rope access services are often able to extend the 'time window' available to undertake work.
• The use of rope access may obviate the need for track possessions or road closures. This can generate large cost savings.
• Rope access is statistically safer than scaffolding and uses fewer men. Ropes can be removed from site at the end of each shift - this is a particular benefit for works on structures where there is the potential for vandalism.
• The versatility of rope access services permits a more flexible and comprehensive inspections.
• Rope systems are unobtrusive. This is very important where historical structures need to retain visual integrity during inspection or maintenance.
• By minimizing disruption at ground level, rope access often allows other trades to continue working when compared with the disruption caused by scaffolding.
• By avoiding loading a project with high initial costs, rope access may allow work to proceed earlier thereby minimizing structural damage.
