Rope access is a method of accessing difficult-to-reach areas for inspection, maintenance, or repair purposes by using ropes and specialized equipment. It is often used in industrial, construction, and maintenance work, and is known for being safer, more cost-effective, and less disruptive than traditional access methods such as scaffolding or cradles. Rope access technicians are trained in safety and technical skills to perform their tasks safely and efficiently.

Rope access is used as a means of access and support for workers in industries such as construction, maintenance, inspection, and rescue operations. It offers several advantages over traditional methods, including reduced equipment and setup time, increased flexibility and mobility for workers, reduced impact on the environment, and cost savings compared to scaffolding or crane operations. Rope access is also often the only feasible option for work on complex or hard-to-reach structures.
