In this section, we will be looking techniques in both rope rescue and rope access. The techniques outlined here require rigorous training and expertise. They should never be attempted without both. Great attention is paid to accident prevention at work and rescue sites.
We have done everything possible to ensure that the information presented is accurate at the time of publication. We do not guarantee that this information is complete, accurate, understandable or up to date. RRG and Petzl reserves the right to modify the content at any time.
In the following pages, we describe and explain the principles of modern fall protection and work positioning techniques and the corresponding equipment. They must be completmented by a knowledge of each country's work at height laws and regulations. Much of the content covered on this page requires a high level of understanding and knowledge. Before beginning a work project, we suggest that you seek the services of specialist that can teach you correct equipment usage. We have a list of such trainers if need be.

Work-at-height (rope access), difficult access, confined spaces, arboriculture, pylons and towers, structures for events and framing and roofing.
- Rescue Techniques:

It could aggravate an injury, a state of shock or a loss of consciousness. Teams must be taught, trained and be self sufficient to be able to rapidly rescue a victim who is unable to perform a self rescue.
