Work-at-Height & Rope Access Safety

The Work-at-Height & Rope Access Safety test is designed to confirm the safety knowledge and practical awareness of personnel working in elevated, difficult-to-reach, or confined environments.

Rope access and height-based work are essential in multiple industries such as civil engineering but they carry significant risks. Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of workplace fatalities globally, making competence in this area a non-negotiable requirement. This test validates that candidates understand the fundamentals of rope access systems, including the use of working and backup ropes, correct harness fitting, and selection of anchors. It evaluates the candidate’s knowledge of fall factors, energy absorption, and suspension trauma, ensuring they are prepared to work safely and respond to emergencies. 

Scenario-based questions place technicians in realistic situations for example, deciding what to do if a descender becomes stiff, how to react when a colleague drops a tool or how to manage work in deteriorating weather conditions. This test is relevant for rope access technicians of all levels, supervisors overseeing work-at-height operations, and emergency response team members.
