Industrial rope access minimises client problems when carrying out structural inspection, high level cleaning, painting and maintenance. The benefits are short set up times and flexible rigging, which pay off in reduced access costs and site obstruction. Where extensive scaffolding might have been required to carry out urgent but small-scale works, a two-man team can deal with the problem and be away within the day. Even greater benefits accrue in safety. Roped access has, a low accident rate compared to other works techniques. This is due to the fact that an operative will always be connected to two anchors, and will have been subject to stringent selection and training standards.
