Before a Level 2 can become a Level 3 rope access technician, a minimum of one year 2.5.2.6 at Level 2 and at least a further 1 000 working hours using rope access techniques have to be logged, i.e. a combined minimum total of two years and 2 000 hours at Level 1 and Level 2. A minimum of four days of further training and then assessment by an independent IRATA International assessor are required. This is particularly to ensure that the person has the necessary technical skills for this level and may be ready to prove their competence to supervise rope access safety. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that Level 3s are competent to supervise. See 2.6 for information on rope access safety supervisors.2.5.2.7 It is essential that employers ensure their employees are competent. To ensure that all levels of rope access technician maintain their skill level, a further training course followed by reassessment is required every three years.
