Industrial Rope Access
A proven solution developed by IRATA that is recognised internationally by multinational corporations for reaching inaccessible places safely at locations such as offshore platforms and installations, buildings and industrial plants.
Industrial rope access system is a safe method of working at heights, where ropes and equipment are used to suspend or support the user to access and egress in the workplace. The benefit of using rope access methods lies mainly in the safety and speed with which workers can get to or from difficult locations and then carry out their work, often with minimal impact on other operations.
