Working at height is one of the most challenging and high-risk tasks in any industry. From offshore platforms to construction towers and industrial plants, safety and efficiency are critical. This is where Rope Access comes in, a safe, versatile, and cost-effective method of gaining access to difficult-to-reach areas using ropes and specialized equipment.
At JC International, we provide globally recognized Rope Access Training in Nigeria, designed to equip participants with the technical competence and safety awareness required to work at height under IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) standards.
What Is Rope Access?
Rope Access is a work positioning system that allows technicians to carry out inspections, maintenance, repairs, and other tasks in high or confined areas using a combination of ropes, harnesses, and mechanical devices.
It is widely used in offshore oil and gas, construction, telecommunication, and power industries because it minimizes setup time, reduces costs, and enhances safety.
