We invite you to the rope access training, organized by ERGON. We have been successfully educating experts for over 25 years! The rope access course follows the BS7985 standard. We prepare for conquest in a professional and effective way permissions mountaineering.

What is rope access?

Rope access training (also known as mountaineering work) - allows you to use ropes (and other equipment) to determine the position of the employee, belay, as well as to enter and exit the workplace and the use of ropes on traverses. Acquiring such skills requires physical fitness, acquiring professional knowledge and specialist training.

Rope access altitude courses concern situations in which an employee performs his tasks while being suspended and two ropes must be used during work: working and safety ropes. The use of mountaineering equipment in rope access is aimed at: stabilizing the working position by supporting or suspending, and protection against falling from a height during the performance of tasks. Climbing access methods are used wherever the use of other techniques (e.g. building access) is not economically justified, is too risky or is technically impossible.

The rope access course is intended for people working at:

  • cleaning windows and facades of high-rise buildings
  • painting facades of buildings
  • installation of large-format advertisements
  • servicing telecommunications masts
  • cleaning and painting tanks
  • assembly and renovation of steel or reinforced concrete structures
  • and to companies that want to outsource training of their employees

The training is aimed at people who work with mountaineering techniques.

Training

The practical part of the course is carried out on specially prepared structures that are the permanent equipment of the training center. Workshops during the training are carried out with the use of equipment such as: fall arrest systems, safety harnesses, connectors, shock absorbers, self-locking devices, low-stretch braided core ropes, safety lines, connectors, shock absorbers, industrial safety helmets, we also use temporary and permanent belaying systems such as, for example, a lifeline. The training covers the rope access system based on the PN-EN 12841 standard.
