This course is intended for people with little or no experience in rope access and positioning techniques. Its objectives are to know the basic safety criteria and standards that must be applied during work on vertical walls. Raise awareness about the importance of acquiring behavior habits that guarantee individual and collective self-protection.
When we talk about cleaning high-rise windows, you probably imagine a couple of men on a scaffold high above the city. While scaffolding is one of the best-known methods of working at height, cable access is the best solution for this high-risk job.
As most people do not know exactly what the benefits of using cable access are, the Rope Access Solutions team wanted to share the
top 7 reasons why customers choose to use services over the methods of traditional access.
sure
Working while suspended may seem risky, but our methods are actually safer than traditional methods for working at height with rope access companies. Less equipment means less room for malfunctions.
Our training is also advanced. Most often, technicians are trained through IRATA, the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association. IRATA member companies ensure that their employees undergo cable access training, and all are IRATA level 3 cable access certified. The other most common training is SPRAT, Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians, training. All cable access companies know the importance of maintaining high-security standards in their work to ensure excellent results at all times.
Flexible
Cable access requires much less equipment and preparation than traditional access methods. Our access method requires minimal space and can be done without timely equipment such as scaffolding. This means that we can be much more flexible about where and when our technicians are installed, allowing us to quickly and easily access, clean, inspect or repair your structure, inside and out.
Efficient
Our methods are not only flexible, but they are also fast. We don’t rely on large teams to get the job done. This means that we don’t spend as much time on installation or disassembly, and we don’t require a large crew, allowing us to work on your building much faster than other methods. And getting to work quickly means fewer interruptions for you.
Economic
You’ve heard that time is money. In this case, that is true! Your cost of working at height is affected by the time, equipment, and labor that goes into the job. We don’t need a large team of men or expensive, time-consuming equipment by using cable access. Our team can get to work quickly, so you are not paying extra expenses. With cable access, we can help you save money on the tasks that need to be done to maintain and clean your building.\
Access to hard to reach places
Every building has awkward corners and inaccessible spaces that still need to be maintained. Fortunately, these spaces are only inaccessible for traditional access methods. Our methods allow us to access and work in even the most difficult to reach places in your building. We can work virtually anywhere, inside or out.
You don’t want a building inspection or cleaning to disrupt the people who live and work in and around your building. Traditional methods can be noisy, obstruct views, and disrupt people’s daily lives. There is no bulky, noisy, or annoying equipment in or around your building when you use rope access solutions. We will be in and out quickly, without major interruptions.
Our cable access systems allow us to safely and effectively access every part of your building with less environmental impact than other access methods. The standards of the cable access association IRATA ensure that “there is no damage to property or damage to the environment.” There are no exhaust gases or harmful gases from equipment and machines. Once we leave, it’s like we’re not even there!
