Industrial Rope Access

Industrial rope access techniques allow work to be carried out at heights where alternative access is extremely difficult and costly. Today, industrial rope access is widely used in the construction and maintenance of oil and gas installations and wind turbines. Rope Access is a challenging profession where the safety level required to perform well cannot be achieved through theoretical knowledge alone. Training and practical experience is crucial for the ability to assess situations and understand HSE.

IRATA has divided the training and education into several levels (1, 2 and 3) where as requirements for the number of logged hours has to be completed to enable the step up to the next level. Industrial rope access assignments must have a safety supervisor in charge.

Rope access technicians working for StS are highly experienced in abseiling and working at heights and have a variety of professional backgrounds such as Rigging, Painting, Blade Repair, Mechanical and Insulation.
