Rope Access Safety: Why IRATA Standards Matter

In the world of rope access and industrial maintenance, safety is everything. At Medway Access & Rescue, every technician is IRATA-qualified — and there’s a good reason why that matters. IRATA (Industrial Rope Access Trade Association) sets the global benchmark for safe work at height.
