Code of Practice
This code of practice, which reflects current best working practice, replaces the IRATA Guidelines on the use of rope access methods for industrial purposes. Members of IRATA International are required, as a condition of membership, to comply with the principles of the code of practice.
The code of practice has been compiled using the experience of established rope access companies and is the result of many years of experience working with various national, international, regional and trade-based health and safety organizations, to which IRATA International is indebted for their advice and assistance.
