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 does not allow truck mount, we can offer you rope access, which is one of the most efficient methods for accessing confined spaces and complicated structures.

When it comes to high-access window cleaning, rope access is considered one of the riskiest in New York. However, these types of access are well-known to our specialists, who take all the required precautions.

1. Limited free fall potential:

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

2. The rope access backup system:

This system provides the safety of a hands-free work positioning system, historically only used when a worker arrives at their work location, and extends that functionality while accessing and leaving the work location.

3. Protection from any fall or pendulum event:

Backup systems may be employed to provide for horizontal movement and positioning, thus extending the ability of a worker to access locations in all directions, all while being protected from any fall or pendulum event.

4. The importance of training and certification:

As work at height conditions are highly varied and even one location may present different risks daily, a team of employees with the knowledge and skills to adjust rope access devices to changing work situations is more qualified to safely finish their work and rescue a co-worker, if necessary.

5. Learning for prompt rescue:

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