2.11.6.2 IRATA International requires that a rope access team consists of at least two rope access technicians. However, there are many situations that require more than a two-person rope access team, depending, for example, on the nature of the work; site conditions; competency of the work team; potential rescue scenarios.A rope access team size of two should only be considered in circumstances where 2.11.6.3 retrieval and rescue by either rope access technician of his/her workmate could be achieved rapidly and unaided by third parties, e.g. where any potential rescue would be a direct lower of the casualty to a safe place. Wherever a potential rescue of the casualty could be other than such a direct lower, a team of three rope access technicians should be regarded as the normal minimum team size, unless other specific arrangements are in place that have been tried and tested by the rope access technicians.
