About IRATA

IRATA the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association was formed in the late 1980's by a number of leading companies involved in industrial rope access techniques. They wanted to provide a safe working environment for the industry.

Safety is paramount in our industry. Since its formation irata, and its member companies, have worked assiduously to:

• improve safety in the industry.
• produce an industry standard set of guidelines and training requirements.
• provide a comprehensive assessment and registration process for operatives.

Much of this work has been carried in close liaison with the Health and Safety Executive (UK). This has created an effective framework within which, in the decade that IRATA has been collecting safety statistics, there have been NO major or fatal accidents amongst its members. The incident rate for members is consistently well below that of other industries during the same period. Rope access provides an effective, efficient and economic means of access. However it must be carried out in a proficient and safe manner.
