IRATA LEVEL 3
This training course is designed to provide the candidates with the knowledge and skills on rope access for industrial operations.
The training given to IRATA technicians follows a strict work- based syllabus that delivers highly-committed personnel who are determined to deliver safe working. DAS trainers are rope access experts, not general work-at-height instructors, not recreational instructors, and have many years of experience actual rope access field.
Candidates will be assessed at the end of the course by an independent IRATA assessor.
IRATA encourages both career progression and a maintenance of skill levels so each technician is required to re-train and re- register every three years so that he can demonstrate he has retained all necessary abilities; he may also progress through three levels, each demanding greater work knowledge and range of skills.
It is all too common for industrial training to be non-specific and superficial; this is where bad practice starts and it is not something IRATA subscribes to.
