BEST EVER ACCIDENT STATISTICS FOR IRATA
The annual Work and Safety Analysis2007, audited by an independent Health & Safety expert, has again demonstrated IRATA's excellent training and worksite record. Despite a considerable increase in the number of hours worked and number of countries in which the Association has members, the incident rate was again well below the industrial average. Compiler of the report, Dr Chris Robbins writing in the Analysis says, 'Explanations for the continuing improvement may include - disciplined training and work procedures, rigorous and continuing assessment of rope access technicians and close supervision of the work site.'
IRATA has member companies in every continent and has taken its safe working procedures into new territories such as Iran, China and Mexico in the last few years. It has trained rope access workers around the world and, in doing so, has often significantly raised the standards of safety in the workplaces of these nations. It has assisted in the upgrading of many work and safety standards in many countries.
IRATA PRESENTS
The Association has exhibited at various exhibitions in the last year and will have a significant presence at OSEA in Singapore in December 08. Several important presentations have been made to national organisations in recent months leading to a higher profile for the Association and recognition of its high standards. Already planned for 2009 are major exhibitions in Birmingham, Liverpool, Aberdeen and several overseas venues
