HOW CAN I LOOK AT THE PROBLEM?
We use digital cameras to provide instant images of particular areas and have the capability to email those images direct from the worksite to your desk-top. We can, if asked, also supervise the client abseiling himself to the work site.

WHAT ABOUT THE HEALTH & SAFETY REGULATIONS?
IRATA and the HSE have worked together over the last 15 years to ensure that we maximise efficiency whilst remaining as safe as possible. Ours is one of the most tightly controlled industries in the business. All of our operatives hold current IRATA Qualifications.
06
WHAT CAN YOU USE FOR ANCHOR POINTS?
In accordance with current guidelines, our competent personnel can assess the suitability of available anchor points. There are usually sufficient independent points at each site. On the rare occasions there is nothing suitable, we are able to use free-weight anchors, fit anchor bolts or even use an anchor on the ground on the other side of the structure. Rope access is all about safe flexibility.
