Who are rope access technicians?
Rope access technicians are specialised professionals trained to perform work at height or in difficult-to-reach locations using rope access techniques. These techniques involve the use of ropes and associated equipment to ascend, descend, and traverse vertical or horizontal spaces safely and efficiently.
This method is widely used in various industries, including construction, oil and gas, maintenance, and inspection, due to its unrivalled flexibility. Our technicians can access areas that are otherwise challenging or impossible to reach with traditional access methods like scaffolding or lifts.
With our ability to deploy versatile abseiling solutions, Severn Access has fashioned itself into a trusted partner for commercial clients requiring advanced work at height and access solutions.
What Is a confined space specialist?
Confined space specialists are highly trained professionals skilled in managing and navigating environments classified as confined spaces, such as tanks, silos, sewers, and vaults.
These areas typically have limited entry and exit points. Such areas pose various and significant hazards. This includes toxic atmospheres, low oxygen levels, and restricted movement. Attempting to traverse these spaces without training or the right equipment is extremely dangerous. Consequently, the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 are the rules enforced in the UK that sets the standards and guidelines for working in confined spaces. These regulations help to ensure safety in such hazardous environments, protecting the well-being of workers.
With our extensive experience and training in confined space access, Severn Access guarantees compliance with these regulations. We offer a range of specialist services designed to mitigate risks and enhance safety, ensuring your confined space needs and requirements are met with precision and accuracy. This includes confined space rescue services, where we can offer a stand-by rescue team, top-man services, and emergency rescue plans for your business.
