IRATA

LEVEL 1

PRICE

$2300 (INCLUDING GST)

This is the entry-level course and the first rung on the IRATA rope access career ladder. All rope access equipment will be provided along with a comprehensive training manual.

4 days training
1-day independent assessment
In the unlikely event of a failed assessment, Heads Up offer all candidates the opportunity for further training and re-assessment for FREE.

To work safely in rope access requires those engaged in the work to have an appropriate attitude and aptitude. A good level of fitness and physical capability is also required. If unsure, an appraisal session should be arranged with Heads Up.

An aptitude for work at height includes not only having ‘a head for heights’, but also an appropriate level of responsibility and self-reliance. A healthy respect for heights remains an advantage; over-confident or reckless workers may present greater risks than the cautious.

Rope access work locations are often remote from outside help; it is, therefore, especially important that operatives can be relied upon to behave in a sensible and responsible manner.

Heads Up has the right to exclude any candidate from training if they have concerns over the candidate’s health, fitness, or attitude to safety during training.

Candidates shall be at least 18 years of age at the start of the course.

Candidates are required to declare that they do not have any medical conditions or contra- indications that may prevent them from working safely. The minimum requirement is a self-certification statement, see the IRATA Candidate Disclaimer and Liability Release form [FM-014]

It is recommended that prospective employees are in possession of an appropriate medical certificate before starting this kind of work, and that they are re-assessed at regular intervals thereafter.

If a candidate has a contra-indicated condition which is controlled with medication, he/she shall obtain a signed doctor’s note to show Heads Up or an employer that the condition should not prevent that person doing rope access work providing they have access to the required medication.

Heads Up has the right to exclude any candidate from training if they have concerns over the candidate’s health, fitness, or attitude to safety during training.

Candidates applying to upgrade shall be competent in all practical and theory requirements of their current level before attending an upgrade course, e.g. an existing Level 1 attending a Level 2 course shall be capable of performing all Level 1 techniques and answering Level 1 theory questions before the start of a Level 2 course.

Candidates who are not competent at their existing level may require additional training. As little time is available on upgrade courses for refresher training, pre-course evaluation is recommended to verify the candidates’ current level of competence.

Candidates seeking to upgrade shall ensure that:

their current certification is still valid on the day of assessment;
they have the necessary 1 year’s experience and 1000 working hours recorded and signed off in their logbook.

NOTE: To avoid confusion, 1 year experience means a Technician is eligible for an upgrade assessment on the calendar day one year and one day after their previous assessment; e.g. 1st April 2014 Level 1 assessment, 2nd April 2015 earliest possible L2 assessment.

Rope access Technicians who are upgrading or revalidating shall provide their logbooks to Heads Up before the start of the training course. Where rope access Technicians have lost their logbooks, they shall arrange for a replacement to be issued, completed and verified before training commences.

Rope access Technicians whose expired certification should consult Procedures for IRATA Certification [TC-032]
