IRATA Rope Access

Rope access methods are similar to fall arrest techniques, a full body harness and twin ropes are used to gain access to elevated worksites. It is a quick, cost effective and, most importantly, safe method of carrying out work at height. It is a technique suitable for use in both the onshore and offshore oil, petrochemical and construction industries. Industrial rope access methods originated from caving and mountain climbing techniques and are now used extensively across the world as a cheaper, safer and quicker alternative to scaffolding and other working at height procedures. RIM provides qualified IRATA Rope Access Inspectors.
