When working a rope access technician always has at least 2 attachments, each having an independent anchorage point.When the worker is supported by ropes, each of the worker's ropes will have a fail-safe descent mechanism.All secondary tools and equipment (e.g. drills, sealant, etc.) are attached by lanyards to worker's harness to avoid danger to people below. A minimum of two trained technicians are required for any job, each with the ability to rescue the other if needed.All technicians are independently assessed.All equipment is regularly inspected and maintained.Carefully refined codes of practice and working systems are used. This approach has meant very few accidents since the beginning of this activity nearly fifteen years ago. It's an extremely rewarding career with opportunities galore if you're willing to put the effort in. EXTERNAL LINKS
