PROFESSIONAL ROPE ACCESS / PRA TECHNICIANS

We are the only team in New York certified by the Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT). If the building doesn't permit truck mounts, we can offer rope access, which is one of the most efficient methods for accessing confined spaces and complex structures.

High-access window cleaning, particularly rope access, is considered one of the riskiest tasks in New York. However, our specialists are well-versed with these types of access methods and take all required precautions. Here's how we mitigate the risk:

1. Limited Free Fall Potential:

Shorter free fall distances lead to a reduced risk of injury, as the force and clearance distance involved in stopping the fall are both minimized.

2. The Rope Access Backup System:

This system extends the safety of a hands-free work positioning system—historically used only when a worker arrives at their work location—to accessing and leaving the work location.

3. Protection from any Fall or Pendulum Event:

Backup systems can be employed for horizontal movement and positioning, extending a worker's ability to access locations in all directions, all while being protected from any fall or pendulum event.

4. The Importance of Training and Certification:

Given the highly varied work-at-height conditions and the fact that even one location may present different risks daily, a team equipped with the knowledge and skills to adjust rope access devices to changing work situations is better qualified to complete their work safely and rescue a co-worker, if necessary.

5. Learning for Prompt Rescue:

The high training and performance standards required of a rope access technician are combined with pre-job planning, provision for prompt rescue, and work site supervision requirements of the rope access program.
