IRATA & SPRAT Rope Access Training 

• Industrial rope access training enables completion of the same job with fewer workers and less equipment than other methods
• Setting up and dismantling rope access rigging is quick and simple
• Rope access reduces on-the-job risks
• Techniques are safe and result in fewer incidents than work relying on scaffolding or heavy machinery
• An entire job site is not forced to shut down when using rope access technicians
• Two organizations ensure workers performing industrial rope access activities are trained

The Industrial Rope Access Trade Association, or IRATA, and Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians, also called SPRAT, are the two premier rope access oversight bodies. Both organizations offer rigorous training and certification programs that ensure technicians performing work at height or in hard-to-reach places are trained, safe and competent.
