Work at height demands a serious approach. This is no more evident than in the exacting world of industrial rope access.

IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) has long been regarded as representing world’s best practice in terms of their commitment to safety, training and work protocols. Member companies are regularly subjected to rigorous independent audits of their operating procedures, a process which ensures consistency and quality across the board. 

Still the largest single cause of fatalities at work, workplace health and safety legislation covering working at height imposes a duty of care upon employers, employees, and facility owners and managers to provide a safe place of work. This includes safety for workers and the public, and can include passive protection for third parties as well as protection for workers. See links for further information on the relevant legislation in Australia and the UK.

Only IRATA member companies can provide the depth of experience required to tackle work at height tasks and training of personnel.
