NOTE Sometimes, rope access methods are used in conjunction with conventional suspended access equipment. In such cases, the principle of double protection still applies to the rope access work. The anchors for rope access should be independent of the anchors for the conventional suspended access equipment. For the safety requirements for work on conventional suspended access equipment, reference should be made to the appropriate standards.When carrying out rope access manoeuvres, e.g. passing a re-anchor; passing a knot, 2.11.1.5 the action should be carried out in such a way that at least two independent points of attachment are maintained at all times.© IRATA InternationalPart 2: page 50 of 682014-Jul-01IRATA International code of practice for industrial rope access Part 2 of 5: Detailed guidancea) Example of two equally loaded anchorsb) Example of double protection being provided by the use of eyeboltsKey1 Structural steel 2 Anchor sling
