When it comes to working at height, safety and precision are non-negotiable. That is why IRATA training standards (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) are considered the global standard for professional rope access technicians. At Rope Access 24 Seven, we are committed to excellence and safety, which is why we only employ technicians who are fully IRATA-trained. It is a key part of delivering reliable, compliant and efficient rope access solutions for every project we undertake.
What is IRATA Training?
IRATA is the world’s leading authority on industrial rope access. The IRATA certification scheme ensures rope access technicians are trained to work safely at height using ropes and associated equipment. The training involves both theoretical and practical elements and is divided into three levels:
- Level 1: Entry-level technicians who work under supervision.
- Level 2: Experienced technicians capable of rigging ropes and performing advanced rescues.
- Level 3: Supervisors with extensive experience, responsible for safety, planning and managing rope access teams.
Each technician must pass rigorous assessments to receive certification, ensuring a high standard of competence across the industry.
Why is IRATA Training So Important?
- Unmatched Safety Standards
Rope access can involve working on high-rise buildings, bridges, ductwork systems or industrial structures. IRATA-trained technicians are equipped with the knowledge and skills to carry out tasks safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Global Recognition
IRATA training standards are recognised internationally, making it the benchmark for quality and professionalism in rope access services. By choosing IRATA-certified technicians, you ensure compliance with global safety regulations.
- Competency and Confidence
Technicians trained under the IRATA scheme are thoroughly tested and assessed, which means they perform tasks with confidence, precision and technical know-how.
The Requirement to Renew Training Regularly
IRATA certifications are valid for three years, after which technicians must either:
- Renew their training, or
- Upgrade to a higher level (if eligible)
Regular renewal ensures that technicians remain up to date with the latest safety practices, equipment standards and operational procedures. This commitment to continuous improvement is vital for maintaining the integrity of any rope access project.
