Rope access continues to be the safest, most controlled, and most versatile method for working at height.. backed by global data, proven procedures, and an ever-improving safety culture.

Rope Access FAQ's

At SureAccess, our rope access operations are carried out by IRATA‑trained technicians who rigorously adhere to the IRATA International Code of Practice (ICOP), ensuring every job is conducted under globally accepted best practices. Through ICOP we maintain strict safety protocols, team composition, emergency procedures, and continuous audit and supervision standards to deliver reliable, safe access solutions in challenging environments.

In Australia, rope access systems operate under the provisions of AS/NZS ISO 22846 (Parts 1 & 2)

  • Part 1 (Fundamental Principles) sets out the core principles for planning, competence, and system structure.

  • Part 2 (Code of Practice) provides detailed guidance on execution, equipment selection and maintenance, supervision, risk management, and rescue procedures. 

We also align with the Safe Work Australia “Guide to Managing Risks of Industrial Rope Access Systems”, which covers anchor design and testing, rigging layouts, exclusion zones, rope protection, and other critical controls.

This guide is used in conjunction with statutory work‑health‐safety laws to ensure full compliance and risk management on our sites.

By combining IRATA training and accreditation with adherence to AS/NZS/ISO 22846 and Safe Work Australia guidance, SureAccess offers a robust, professional rope access service trusted across all industries.
