- Inspection: Rope access technicians can carry out inspections of structures, such as buildings, bridges, and offshore platforms, to identify any damage or defects that need to be repaired.
- Maintenance: Rope access technicians can carry out maintenance work on structures, such as cleaning, painting, and lubrication, to ensure that they are in good condition.
- Repair: Rope access technicians can carry out repairs on structures, such as fixing cracks, replacing damaged components, and welding.
- Construction: Rope access technicians can assist with construction work, such as installing new components or making modifications to existing structures.
- Environmental work: Rope access technicians can be involved in environmental work, such as habitat restoration or erosion control, to access hard-to-reach areas in a safe and efficient manner.
- Emergency response: Rope access technicians can be called upon to assist with emergency response efforts, such as rescuing people who are stranded at height or assisting with disaster recovery efforts.
- Industrial cleaning: Rope access technicians can be used to clean hard-to-reach areas of industrial facilities, such as tanks, silos, and chimneys.
- Photography and videography: Rope access technicians can be used to capture aerial images and video footage of structures and other hard-to-reach areas.
