The Rope Access Project: A SPRAT Certification Primer 1-3 (Trailer)

Written By: Lance Piatt

Filmed at Petzl’s North American Headquarters… Rope access refers to a set of techniques where a two rope system with specialized hardware is used as the primary means of providing access and support to workers. The Rope Access Project covers specifically the 3 Levels of SPRAT certification that professionally certifies a rope access technician and prepares them for safe working at height and a continuous model for technique retention. Those levels are Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

This course was designed as a primer… yep! It is solid teaching and examples that will elevate your knowledge of techniques needed to pass any of the SPRAT Level 1-3. We are living proof they work.

Rope access refers to a set of techniques where ropes and specialized hardware are used as the primary means of providing access and support to workers. Generally a two-rope system is employed: the working rope supports the worker and the safety rope provides back-up fall protection.
Why use rope access?
Modern rope access equipment, techniques, and training can be combined to produce an exceptionally safe, versatile, efficient, and cost-effective way to solve vertical access problems.
Rope access is safe. Independently-certified rope-access technicians uphold an enviable safety record with no fatalities and few lost time incidents while working on rope.
Rope access is versatile. Technicians can apply the techniques in a wide variety of environments, from confined-space penstocks to massive concrete structures to complicated steel installations. Unlike traditional access methods, custom rope-access solutions can be designed to fit various applications quickly and inexpensively.
Rope access is efficient. Systems are installed and dismantled quickly and often require fewer personnel than traditional access methods. Rapid deployment limits disruption to facility operations by minimizing downtime.
Rope access is economical. Fewer personnel, faster completion, less equipment, and minimal downtime mean lower costs.
