When working at height, protecting your ropes isn’t optional — it’s essential.

IRATA’s Topic Sheet No. 6 highlights the critical importance of edge management and outlines a simple but powerful approach: RAP – Remove, Avoid, Protect.

At RAIL Rope Access, we follow these principles on every site:

  • We identify sharp, abrasive, and high-risk surfaces
  • We choose the best anchors, deviations, and barriers
  • We use the right edge protection — for every rope, every time

Remember: one overlooked edge can compromise the entire system.
