Industrial rope access requires specialists who are well versed with the techniques of rope work to access various difficult locations. This method is widely in use in day to day industry work where cradles, scaffolding and aerial work platform are of no use. The technicians who use this method can ascend, descend and traverse ropes for better access. These technicians also work while remaining suspended by their harness. Workers can also use a seat to position themselves better. The use of the harness and rope ensures that there is no likelihood of falling. The rope technicians usually use a secondary support like an arrest fall system in case their primary support fails. Thus, there are two ropes to support the technicians working line and the safety line.

Rope access systems have been viable and profitable alternatives to some of the other methods. It is an industry approved mechanism, and it is best known for achieving specific heights and accessing difficult areas.

A spokesperson for Global Remote explained “Global Remote is a company founded on the core principles of integrity, safety and quality.

It’s quite hard to sum up, what Global Remote is in just a few words. Their Rope access methods provide a cost-effective option to traditional access methods, such as scaffolding or mobile elevated working platforms. Utilising work-positioning systems, industrial rope access is a method of achieving a safe work position at height or in areas of difficult access.
