form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing
and caving, which applies practical ropework to allow workers to access
difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an
aerial work platform. ROPE ACCESS TECHNICIANS descend, ascend, and traverse
ropes for access and work while suspended by their harnesses. Sometimes a
work seat may be used. The support of the rope is intended to eliminate the
likelihood of a fall altogether, but a backup fall arrest system (Personal
protective equipment) is used in case of the unlikely failure of the primary
means of support. This redundancy system is usually achieved by using two
ropes - a working line and a safety line.[1][2]
