Is Rope Access safe?

Rope access techniques are based on caving and climbing techniques that were developed into a safe system of access for industrial purposes as far back as the 1970's, and the constant evolution of technique and equipment since then has led to the lowest incidence of accidents in the whole access sector.

In the UK, all aspects of work at height must be carried out in line with British Standard BS7985 (2002) and the Work at Height regulations (2005), with which we are fully conversant. All work also conforms with the guidelines provided by provided by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA). All SG Access technicians are properly trained and currently certified by IRATA, which is recognised worldwide as the industry standard.

All SG Access technicians undergo an internal interview and practical demonstration of their access and rescue capabilities before they can join one of our teams. All works are conducted under close supervision by suitably qualified senior personnel, and the team are provided with a full risk assessment and method statement for each job detailing particular considerations for each individual situation. In this way we ensure that the workplace and our workers are absolutely safe.
