The International Rope Access System of IRATA is a safe method to work with an elevator rope and associated equipment to gain access to work positions and supports. The ISO 22846 standard provides the basis for the use of a rope access system for work at heights, whereby the rope system is the primary access and falls protection agent. A fall-back system can be achieved by using two ropes to work between the line and the safety line.
Rope techniques provide access to workplaces such as skyscrapers, wind turbines and suspension bridges.

Every day, professionals manipulate ropes, descendants, safety devices, pulleys, rope clamps and lanyards to maneuver to and from the working position as required. Wire hoist technicians learn how to work by hanging up their equipment to perform tasks in hard-to-reach areas.
It is a fantastic work, and the techniques are similar to those of recreational climbing. Most of the work is done while traveling, with the technicians driving to and from work. The work shifts, and because it is a contract base with great mountaineers, you will work a lot of time.

Basic climbing and cave access techniques use special harnesses and ropes to ensure that the task is performed with a high level of safety and minimal disruption.
They range from cleaning windows in high-rise buildings to repairing and inspecting infrastructure such as power stations, wind turbines and bridges, all of which can be reached by rope. Irata Sprat certify rope access personnel to commence and complete short-term maintenance projects, reducing overall costs and performing specific work that does not require scaffolding erection or dismantling, so that maintenance can be carried out in an appropriate manner and total downtime can be reduced.

Irata is the gold standard in rope access and has developed a robust training process to ensure the highest level of rigour for certified technicians at all levels. Each level of Irata Level II rope technicians (technicians) must record over 1,000 hours of experience. Assessment level participants must climb a number of ropes from the beginning.
