IRATA Guidance
The Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA International) includes within its membership operating companies who employ the technicians who have learned their skills from the training companies of the Association. Unlike many trade associations it is not dominated and therefore influenced purely by manufacturers from its business sector.
The teaching of the IRATA syllabus enables rope access technicians to progress through three Levels of proficiency, with certification issued at each level. The IRATA technician carries a card that is recognized and admired around the world for its importance and value; some 12000 IRATA technicians are registered in over fifty countries and in every continent.
The thorough, dedicated IRATA training programme delivers a skilled workforce that can reliably employ a proven work-at-height method.
