Rope Access Rope access is the means of accessing difficult areas or areas normally inaccessible by conventional means. It involves suspending a person to their point of work by the use of a personal positioning system. The worker requires a high degree of competence and must undertake suitable training to ensure the task is carried out safely. The Miller-Troll* brand provide technical harnesses and hardware to perform in all environments and are ideally suited to the vertical world of Industrial Rope Access. The list below provides the basic personal protective equipment required for an operator to work in this environment. Depending on the duration of the suspension period, it is essential to choose an adaptable harness: a harness featuring a rigid seat may be a better and safer solution. *Miller-Troll becomes Miller® by Sperian Miller ROPAX harness ProALLP Tech Descender This new full body harness for rope access and rescue combines excellent suspension comfort with freedom of movement and increased productivity. The new triangular suspension position distributes the loads from the attachment points to the larger muscle groups to minimise discomfort and suspension trauma. An additional webbing sling positions the ascender tight against the chest to facilitate ascension. This screw and auto-lock controlled-rate manual descender provides the perfect tool for a controlled descent and positioning on the main line.
