Industrial rope access technique is used in various industries and applications such as oil and gas offshore sites, construction activities including building structures, wind turbines, oil rig platforms and bridges. For maintenance of high-rise buildings and conducting inspection and repairs at dangerous and inaccessible regions of the towers, rope access is overwhelmingly used.

To perform rope access, technicians are specially qualified and trained to withstand the impact of high altitude, excessive heat and wind, and get acclimatized to perform required services even in inhospitable conditions. There are various levels of qualifications that rope access personnel have to undergo depending upon the task they have to perform, which include:

Those who aspire to become rope access technicians should consider the fact that the job is physically demanding and hence workers need to be physically fit and mentally strong to perform rope access at elevated levels.
