Suspended from the end of a climbing harness, the rope access technician is a construction worker who seems to be doing perilous acrobatics but in reality has the dual competence of the job he practices and the specificity of the conditions in which he performs it. Needless to say, he is in excellent physical condition.<\/p>\n

This qualified technician intervenes at height to carry out various missions such as building inspections, masonry repairs, building <\/span> maintenance, including caulking<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

An update on a changing profession in Quebec.<\/p>\n

The trade of ropeist

The roper is a technician with specific qualifications. As part of his profession, he is required to take charge of work at substantial heights and\/or in hard-to-reach places.<\/p>\n

It carries out its missions without using traditional professional equipment such as scaffolding, <\/span>aerial platforms<\/a> <\/span>or other lifting devices usually used for work at height.<\/p>\n

This profession is strictly supervised in terms of security conditions. While there is no specific training in Quebec, there are certifications such as <\/span>SPRAT<\/a> <\/span>And <\/span>IRATA.<\/a> The main objective of these certification processes is to establish knowledge and skills related to <\/span>work on ropes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The professional must equip himself with a shorts (alpine harness), a helmet and specific “hardware” to keep his tools attached to the harness. Safety and efficiency require, he must possess physical skills (strength and endurance) in addition to his technical skills in the field of construction.<\/p>\n
