Do you work with ropes, rigging or other industrial rope access systems?

Ropes

Safe Work Australia has released new guidance on managing the risks of industrial rope access systems.

This guidance material provides information on managing the risks associated with industrial rope access systems, including selection and installation of anchors, anchor access and layout, anchor inspection and testing, rigging techniques, rope protection, and exclusion zones.

This guide is essential for industrial rope access service providers, building managers, contractors and anyone else working where an industrial rope access system is used.

As we know the use of rope systems could pose a serious risk to health and safety and the PCBU must manage these risks.

For further information and guidance, see here.
