Rope Access

Rope access is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical rope work to allow workers to access difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an aerial work platform.

The most common applications for modern rope access include removal and reapplication of insulation, inspection, surveying, general maintenance, painting. This can be carried out in almost all site environments. Examples include food factories, pharmaceutical plants, chemical plants and industrial plants.
