Work using rope access techniques is generally more exposed than most other work M.2.1 methods. It usually requires the rope access technician to be in close proximity to the work itself and to any power source being used. As a result, certain tools, which can be used quite safely with conventional access systems, could cause risks to the rope access technician or to their suspension equipment, unless great care is taken. The site-specific additional risks posed by using tools and equipment in conjunction with rope access should be identified as part of the risk assessment and briefed to all rope access technicians and supporting staff before work begins.
