Rope access is a relatively new work-at-height system in the world of building maintenance. It was mainly adopted in the Oil and Gas market achieving worldwide success. Only a few years ago it made its appearance in the civil constructions market. At present, there is still an overall poor knowledge of this technique and of the technical parameters that make it so safe, efficient, and profitable. There is also a big confusion of the information delivered by poorly informed consultants and sometimes by competitors, who often advise against the adoption of this technique. For example, some indicate that in some countries there is a limit of 300 ft for the use of Rope Access, which is completely incorrect. This comes probably from a confusion with the bosun's chair technique, which has a limitation of use but has nothing to do with Rope Access. Rope Access has no restrictions on height, it can be applied everywhere under the usual safety processes (including the risk assessment analysis) and in compliance with the specific legislation.
