Controlling hazards & reducing risk

There are three reasons why you need to maintain high standards of safety in rope access:

Moral

British society places safety at work high on its moral agenda and will generally react against individuals or companies who place themselves and the public at risk.

Economic

Accidents lead to losses. Companies become bankrupt and individuals lose time off work, or are unable to work again.

Legal

Not complying with the health and safety regulations can lead to criminal prosecution of directors and employees, with a penalty of hefty fines and/or imprisonment.

Rope access is a safe method of working because technicians understand their health and safety duties to themselves, colleagues and members of the public.
