IRATA’s code of practise, audits and training focus on all aspects of rope access management and ensuring safe systems of work.     

Paul Crilly, MD at NJC said: “IRATA standards lead the way in safe working at height. NJC is one of only a few UK rope access cleaning providers to become a member, illustrating our continued focus on moving our health and safety standards beyond compliance.”
