SPACE AND EFFICIENCY
For inspection and light weight tasks, a very small team, typically 3 men, can very quickly access and other wise difficult to reach location with minimal kit, negating the need to install costly labour intensive and time consuming staging or scaffolding. Required gear can be easily carried by the team themselves.
SAFETY
Due to the emphasis in training on safety, in-built back-up systems, and the proffessionalism of the typical NIOSH, CIDB, DOSH, IRATA ( local and international) guide lines qualified operative, there has never been a fatality involving the use of recognized Industrial Rope Access methods.
COST
As mentioned above, cost is minimized, due to small teams, light weight kit and efficient methods of access. There are obvious cost savings involved in project planning, pre-job inspection for example, additional cost savings are foung in transport of gear and personnel, accommodation allowances for smaller teams, and in the long term there is less likelihood of any workplace accidents, however minor, leading to lower insurance outlay
