Reaching the Most Difficult Work Areas with Rope Access Method

With the increasing development of infrastructure in Indonesia, there is a growing demand for high-altitude workers. However, many workplace accidents occur due to falls from heights. Data compiled by the Social Security Administration (BPJS) for Employment shows that the number of workplace accidents in Indonesia continues to rise. In 2017 alone, there were 123,000 reported workplace accidents, with construction workers contributing to the highest number of accidents after factory workers, particularly due to falls from heights.

Each method of working at heights has its own advantages, disadvantages, and risks. Therefore, management needs to consider the effectiveness and risks of each method, both financial and non-financial. The risk aspect of occupational safety and health hazards should be the primary concern for everyone in the workplace.

Currently, the Rope Access Technique (RAT) has been developed for high-altitude work. This method is derived from rock climbing and caving techniques. The Rope Access Technique (RAT) has been widely applied in various industries.

Working at heights requires three essential elements:

  • Skill,
  • Safety Procedures, and
  • Work Standardization.

These three elements are ABSOLUTELY necessary in Rope Access. As in other countries that have been familiar with and used the Rope Access method, high-altitude workers in Indonesia will eventually need special certification in this field. Supported by equipment designed specifically for industry needs, Rope Access is proven to be the safest technique for working at heights. In Singapore and Malaysia, the use of this system has resulted in zero accidents in high-altitude work.

Why Rope Access?

A common fundamental question is why we need this rope access method. There are several reasons for choosing to work at heights using the rope access method, including:

  • Proven Safety: All work is performed by certified rope access technicians, ensuring the principle of zero-accident can be achieved.
  • Speed and Efficiency: Rope access can be set up and dismantled relatively quickly, using fewer personnel without the need for other teams or additional equipment, making the work faster and more efficient.
  • Versatility: Rope access workers can use various techniques in different environments. Unlike traditional access methods, rope access solutions can be designed to fit various job applications.
  • Quality and Cost-Effectiveness: Skilled rope access technicians ensure the highest quality work without the need for lengthy setup and dismantling processes.
