Rope Access Services

Our contracting services can provide huge SAVINGS for our clients!

There are many reasons our clients turn to Rope Access & Rescue to undertake their difficult access works:
"Rope Access & Rescue have been working with Opat for years.  They have been instrumental in developing our safety systems for our swinging stages, providing equipment, advice and training for our staff.  We use their abseil painters to reach the areas that the stages just cant get to"

Alex Topalovic,  Manager Opat Gold Coast

IMPECCABLE SAFETY RECORD

Rope Access & Rescue have been running incident free since day one. A safety record we are very proud of and determined to maintain.

If safety is your primary concern, the team at Rope Access & Rescue have got you covered.  All our staff are subjected to industry training in safe working at heights and industrial rope access.  On top of that, they must pass our stringent verification of compentency at our internal training facility in Burleigh Heads

SKILLED WORKFORCE

Rope Access & Rescue see the value in running a highly skilled and effective workforce. The success of our business depends highly on how well our teams perform for our clients. To this end, we continually assess and develop the skills of each team member to ensure we have a truly multi-disciplined operation.

EFFICIENCY

Rope access is without doubt an extremely efficient way of working. Our teams are light weight and mobile thanks to the equipment used for access. Most jobs can be performed using equipment that can be carried in backpacks by each team member!

After the planning and site set-up phases, deployment of the ropes and access to the work position can be achieved in minutes. Once the task has been completed, moving to the next position or de-mobilising the site can be just as quick. compare this to the time, weight and impact of more traditional access methods, and you will find our work often completed within the time taken to build a scaffold.

UNIFIED COST OF ACCESS AND LABOUR

Why pay twice? One cost for access equipment such as cherry picker, scaffold or swing stage; then another cost for labour to work from that platform. With Rope Access & Rescue the cost of access is included with the cost of the labour. In fact we frequently find our prices for a completed job to be inline with just the cost of scaffold or machinery! For many of our clients this is where they perceive the real value of what we do.

DOCUMENTATION

Having the right level of documentation is vital to comply with the requirements of OH&S. Rope Access & Rescue have developed comprehensive proformas for all of our site documents.

Safe Work Method Statements, carefully considered Rescue Plans, Site Induction forms, Toolbox Talks, Incident report forms and so on.  These are compiled into a site management file and reviewed regularly while on site.

INSURANCES

The correct level of insurance in this industry is essential. At Rope Access & Rescue we have chosen to maintain three insurances policies to cover all of our business related activities.

Our Public Liability policy covers up $20million, this is usually sufficient for dealing with major safety focused organisations and government agencies.

We also maintain a Professional Liability policy, this covers our installed services, professional advice (errors and omissions), and our engineering services to an amount of $20million. because we sell height safety products, we have a Products insurance to the amount of $20million also. Then we have the mandatory workers compensation policies for al our staff. We find having such a comprehensive and high value insurance policy brings peace of mind to our valued clients.
