Title: +038=627.001-##001T_03-Fasadevasksystem NorAcon - International Code of Practice (ICOP).pdf
Like any other method of working at height, the application of rope access should be regarded as a complete system, in which planning, management, competence and suitable equipment should be treated with equal importance, as each is dependent on the others to ensure a safe system of work. This code of practice gives recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods to provide such a safe system of work. Part 1 sets out fundamental principles and controls. Part 2 expands on Part 1, providing more detailed guidance. Part 3 consists of informative annexes, which give advice on the rope access aspect of associated work practices and information on other relevant topics. Several of these annexes are still under development. Part 4 gives links to relevant national legislation and Part 5 provides a bibliography. The parts should be read in conjunction with each other, particularly Part 1 with Part 2 and Part 2 with relevant informative annexes in Part 3.© IRATA InternationalPart 1: page 4 of 19
