Safety Systems

Industrial Rope access has been a rapidly growing industry since 1994. Building owners and Property Management companies have been required to fully understand the implications of height related work place safety and to comply with an ever evolving set of Industry standards and legislation.

Industry jargon, changes to equipment standards, alternative viewpoints from inexperienced and misinformed companies, can all add up to a very confused message!

Property owners and managers need clarity to discern exactly what their legal responsibility is, and also what it isn’t! Off The Ledge Ltd; is committed to helping our customers understand what their specific height related Health and Safety duties are, and presenting you with all the options.
