Recently, Le Réveil newspaper in Saguenay published two articles on the Horizon Vertical team. A stunning portrait of the profession of rope access technician, the profile and the skills necessary to exercise, and the type of work to be carried out.

Ability to adapt outside the norm

As mentioned, being a rope access technician requires general knowledge in many areas, particularly in connection with construction, in addition to having good climbing skills.

Far from being a routine job, however, this job requires having your feet on the ground and possessing an excellent ability to adapt. This is why Horizon Vertical trains all of its new elements and gradually develops them within its team.

Rope access applications

Rope access can be used in a variety of industries and situations. In most cases, scaffolding will be used, but rope access may be the perfect method when this is not practical or a faster solution is needed. It also guarantees a safe working method in high or hard-to-reach places.

This technique is often used for technical maintenance, cleaning of specific parts or coating work on metal structures, assembly and coating, etc.

Many industries use rope access as a safe method for maintenance at height. Think of the industrial sector, offshore oil and gas, energy and petrochemicals, but also the maintenance of office buildings.

Chemistry and Confidence

Another major point underlined is the importance of chemistry and trust between team members. At Horizon Vertical, these elements are at the heart of the success of our work that is difficult to access at height or in confined spaces, as well as to the satisfaction of our customers.

Precise rules

Work on ropes is subject to precise rules.

Work on ropes must only be carried out by persons trained for this purpose.
Supervision of the work must always be carried out by a second person able to guarantee rescue in an emergency.
Each worker's rope system must have at least two ropes anchored separately.

Complementary publications

You will find more information in the following two thematic sheets (see links at the bottom of this page):

Rope Work - Rope Access and Positioning Techniques (33016)
Work in areas exposed to natural hazards - Geotechnics, forests, etc. (33019)

Work in areas exposed to natural hazards

In the event of work in areas exposed to natural hazards, it is essential to define the skills and responsibilities of each and to guarantee perfect communication between all the parties concerned.

The costs are considerably reduced during maintenance work at height or in places that are difficult to access. Each IRATA member must follow certain guidelines and rules which the organization controls. The IRATA International Code of Practice (ICOP) provides such guidelines for the use of rope access under specific working conditions.

IRATA, therefore, organizes specific training and assessments to obtain the certificate. Each member must renew their certificate every three years. If an aerial worker has not climbed for six months, they should also take a refresher course. IRATA uses 3 levels:

Level 1: expert who is supervised by a supervisor.
Level 2: a professional who must be able to perform more difficult techniques but always under the supervision of a supervisor.
Level 3: The supervisor who has the best rope access skills and leads others.

In addition, IRATA members are at the forefront of technological innovations that allow safe, efficient and effective access to hard-to-reach places or when working at height.
