Industrial Rope Access, A Safer Way Up
Industrial Rope Access, A Safer Way Up
Capital Networks delivers Industrial Rope Access (IRA) strictly within a Working at Heights framework for telecommunications infrastructure. We recognise international rope access bodies including IRATA, SPRAT, and ARA.
Works are performed on engineered telecommunications structures with continuous compliant anchor availability. In accordance with the WHS Act 2011 s19 and WHS Regulations 2011 Part 4.4 (Falls), workers remain 100% tied-off at all times using dual compliant attachment.
Where suitable for the task, a static safety line combined with twin scaffold hooks and an adjustable positioning lanyard provides compliant fall protection and controlled positioning. This method minimises the risk of a fall so far as is reasonably practicable within the meaning of s18 of the WHS Act 2011.
The IRATA Work & Safety Analysis (UK) reports a global accident rate below 0.5 per 100,000 hours worked, with reporting periods citing 0.28 for on-rope injuries. These findings reinforce that structured rope-based access methods, when properly supervised and risk controlled, deliver strong safety outcomes.
