Rope access is primarily concerned with movement up or down suspended ropes and working from them, and is considered to be primarily a technique for work positioning. However, the techniques and equipment used for this purpose are sometimes expanded to encompass traversing, aid climbing, lead climbing and other forms of access. The resulting system can range from a work positioning system to a fall arrest system, with hybrid systems somewhere in between. For more information, see Part 3, Annex L. In addition, non-harness-based height access methods and fall protection, e.g. scaffolding; nets, may sometimes be incorporated in the work plan.
