What is industrial rope access?


Qualified personnel using harnesses and rigged ropes in accordance with published guidelines to solve access problems and achieve tasks in the construction, energy and shipping industry.
 
The benefits of rope access are as follows:
 
Rapid installation and removal of access systems
Minimal disturbance to building occupants/pedestrians/traffic flow
No effect on building security whilst work is in progress
Single point of contact undertakes both the access problem and the task
Safe and practical solutions to access problems up to any height
 
The Key Factor: Use of rope access can save you time and money!
 

Is it safe?
 
Industrial rope access (as all works at height) are generally described as potentially hazardous, but the hazards can be identified and the risks managed in order to produce a safe work system.

In the UK, the IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) and HSE (the Health and Safety Executive) have, over the last 15 years, been working closely together in order to optimise the safety of the method. Irata has created a worldwide recognised qualification and the activity has become one of the most controlled of the access sector. As a result, industrial rope access boasts the best safety statistics in the entire British access industry.
 
At european and belgian level the activity is equally submitted to strict regulations of personnal protection equipment and mobile platforms. The techniques and equipment used by Capaxis are in accordance with these industrial norms.
