What is Rope Access?

At SARA Rope Access Global, we abide by our carefully crafted safety system for the benefit of our valued clients and our employees. Rope Access is regulated by the Institute for Working at Heights (IWH) in South Africa, as well as by the respective national associations in other countries, which set the relevant standards and legislation within their own jurisdictions.

Rope access is a system of interrelated components that combine to allow access to otherwise hard-to-reach areas for industrial, commercial and offshore purposes.

The system we have put in place has allowed us to boast an unparalleled safety record, combined with maximum productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Benefits of Rope Access?

Benefits of rope access include speed and less interference with day to day client operations. Ropes can be installed quickly and technicians can rapidly gain access to and from their work areas, causing relatively limited interference to workers inside the building or any other external operators.
• Greater flexibility than is possible with moving platforms or traditional access methods.
• Access to otherwise impossible-to-reach areas.
• Less congestion at the foot of buildings, parking areas and access points.
• Optimized security due to the fact that no fixed access structures are left on site.
• Reduced set-up time, thus minimizing man hours and costs and reducing downtime in adverse weather.

In addition, many companies align with international frameworks such as IRATA to meet global best practices. Rope Access is similarly governed by national associations in other countries, each establishing standards and legislation within their own jurisdictions.
