Why uses Rope Access?

Rope access is safe. The technique itself is a redundant system where two ropes are employed. With proper planning, management, training, and execution, rope access is a safe system for accessing high work areas.

Rope access is unobtrusive. Because of the nature of the technique, rope access allows workers to perform work with minimal impact on the environment and surrounding areas. Whether the work is hanging off a residential building or off the side of a mountain, the process of work from beginning to end leaves little to no footprint.
