Industrial rope access was developed initially from methods used in caving. Rope access offers a safe, efficient and generally affordable mode of working at height and enables work to be completed safely and effectively in difficult to reach areas, allowing access to probably the most tricky of areas. Rope access is less obtrusive and more often than not quicker and cheaper than scaffolding or perhaps a cherry picker, and one of the great benefits of industrial rope access is that a rope access team could be in and out with the the least disruption. Whats more, by the end of each day rope access kit is simple to dismantle and remove, minimising the risk of security of leaving it onsite.
Safety is paramount in industrial rope access. Each industrial rope access worker uses two ropes constantly, a backup safety line and an operating line and each rope includes a separate point of anchorage. Any job requires two rope access technicians for added safety, and each is experienced and is required to retrain at least every three years.

Continue reading of industrial rope access it was trusted offshore on the North sea oil and gas platforms for inspections, but since that time has spread onshore and is used in many different ways in the industrial sector.

You can find five main areas that industrial rope access technicians usually work in: 1. building maintenance and repair, 2. advanced cleaning and window cleaning and higher level painting, 3. inspection and testing, 4. Geotechnical work & Civil engineering.
So industrial rope access can be utilized in several different scenarios that want just work at height, with safety always coming to the forefront while at exactly the same time the techniques used allow a rope access technician to effectively carry out the work required.
