Frequently Asked Questions
Rope access technicians are qualified professionals that use the help of ropes to perform a range of tasks, including window and facade cleaning, painting, welding, pressure washing, repairing, inspecting and other maintenance activities. The majority of these tasks are performed high off the ground and are difficult to access any other way. Technicians traverse, descend, and ascend ropes for access while suspended by their harness to get around these difficulties.
Rope access works as fall protection where conventional methods cannot work. Systems allow workers to ascend and descend ropes while suspended by a harness. These systems require a dual rope system, meaning workers must have a backup rope if their primary rope system fails. Workers are secured within an industrial harness equipped with a rope access gear system and connected to two ropes (main line and backup line). The technician is suspended from one rope while the second acts as a backup in the unlikely event that the first rope is defective.
Rope access has an enviable safety record. Statistically speaking, it is the safest way to conduct height access work because of the in-depth training, safety precautions and accreditations that are put in place. Additionally, most dual rope access systems will always have a fail-safe rope to prevent unlikely falls from occurring. Rope access is far safer than utilising scaffolding or heavy equipment considering these factors.
The overall costs associated with rope access work is far less than those associated with scaffolding and other types of access methods. You need to consider additional construction expenses, deconstruction, and transportation of large amounts of materials compared to scaffolding and machinery. These costs are not incurred when you employ the service of experienced rope access specialists.
