What is Rope Access?
Rope access - also known as industrial climbing - is a form of work positioning. As the name suggests, it requires significant rope work and is particularly suited for those who need to access hard-to-reach areas where scaffolding and aerial work platforms are not an option. Rope Acess requires thorough training and sturdy rope access equipment.
