Applied Technical Services offers extensive rope access classes for technicians of all experience levels seeking accreditation or reaccreditation. Rope access classes teach technicians how to safely work at great heights using rope systems and associated equipment. Rope access allows trained personnel to perform operations safely and efficiently in difficult-to-reach locations.
At ATS, our rope access classes teach technicians how to utilize a main line and safety line to effectively scale, descend, and move laterally on a rope access system. Rope access safely reduces company costs by reducing or eliminating the need for building structures such as scaffolding. Manifold applications benefit from professionals with rope access expertise, including:
- Instrument Installation
- Geological Surveying
- Concrete Repair
- Photography/Videography
- Preparing Surfaces
- Sealant Installation
- Painting
- Scaling/Anchoring Rocks
- Sandblasting
