Welcome to IRATA International
IRATA is the sole global trade association in the work-at-height sector; it has member companies in every continent.
Industrial rope access has been developed by IRATA in the last 25 years to a point where it is the chosen means of access for much of the work in the offshore oil and gas industry as well as a range of projects in construction, civil engineering, the built and natural environment and much more. Its success is based on thorough training and strict work guidelines that deliver an unrivalled safe working record year after year.

IRATA is in need of more auditors. Please check the new auditor requirements framework and the application form which I have put in the members' area under private documents and "Auditor's application form". Please return the application form to Muriel at muriel@irata.org by 1 July.

IRATA Has Moved
IRATA is delighted to let its members know that we have moved to our new offices in Ashford, Kent, UK today. We are extremely grateful to our partners for the last 25 or so years, Association Group Management, for helping us towards a smooth transition so far.
The first part of our business to move into our purpose built premises, includes Accounts, Secretariat and Membership Services. In a phased programme, we will be moving other functions from our old premises in Hampshire, including Registrations and Certification to the new offices.
For the time being, calls may continue to be directed to our Hampshire office on the old number but of course, members are encouraged to use our new numbers below:
