Applied Technical Services offers a comprehensive SPRAT level 1 training course for prospective rope access technicians seeking accreditation. Rope access is an in-demand work discipline that enables technicians to scale, descend, or move laterally across buildings, construction sites, and tall structures. Rope access simply requires the use of a main line and a safety line securely attached to a fall arrest system, providing employers with a safe alternative to expensive scaffolding and other specialized equipment. With the proper training, technicians can perform construction, inspections, and maintenance on high, tight or unfinished work areas. Technicians certified with either SPRAT or its European counterpart, IRATA, can apply their skills in a variety of jobs, including:
- Façade Inspections
- Installing Instruments
- Installing Movie / Theater Sets
- Painting
- Performing Geological Surveys
- Pressure Washing/Sandblasting
