The Benefits of Rope Access
Rope Access is a proven method of achieving a safe work position at height or in areas of difficult access.
The primary benefits of rope access are:
- Safety
- Cost
- Flexibility
Rope access is a quick and cost effective alternative to scaffolding, towers and cherry pickers for difficult work positioning.
As its value as a work solution grew, rope access has also developed onshore where it is to be seen undertaking all manner of work from high-rise window and façade cleaning and general maintenance to repair, geotechnical and inspection work on some of the world’s most iconic structures.
Safe working
R&P Access teams provide the certainty of safe working and a single point of contact.

R&P Access prepares a Method Statement and Risk Assessment for every project. This will explain exactly what they will do, how they will do it and detail particular safety precautions.
Suitable to most situations
Generally the only requirement is internal access to the roof to find suitable anchor points (lift housings, fire escapes, structural steelwork).
No security risk
No security risk on site – all equipment removed overnight and no structure that might allow criminal use or vandalism.
Rapid setup and dismantling
Rapid set-up and dismantling ensures minimal disruption to building occupants, pedestrians and traffic flow.
Strictly follow HSE guidelines
Every project is conducted to HSE guidelines, which require a double rope system and failsafe devices. Protective safety netting can be used where necessary.
Saves money
Provides a cost saving through the elimination or reduction of scaffolding or mobile elevated work platforms.
