A complementary course to our Rope Access Operator Course and in-line with BS7985: 2002. Intended for candidates who already have experience of rope access but would like to move on to supervise sites of a specified type. It addresses the supervisory aspects of rope access work and permits a rope access team to work to an appropriate safe system of work. Each delegate will be expected to complete a method statement and risk assessment as homework during the course.
This level of expertise (or IRATA L3) should be a requirement for any company wishing to supervise rope access operations in house.
