What is SPRAT®


? The Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians (SPRAT® ), based in the United States, is dedicated to promoting the safe development of industrial


rope access standards in the US, Canada, Mexico and beyond. SPRAT®


supports companies and technicians using rope access with:


• certification programs • regulatory support • net working • opportunities to participate in developing industry-consensus standards.


SPRAT® was established in the mid 1990s to address the needs of a growing number of companies and operators employing rope access techniques


in North America. While various forms of rope access had been used in industry for decades, the development of modern rope access systems collided with the growth of industries that provided conventional means of access such as scaffolding and swing-stages. These conventional methods required standard fall arrest systems.


Without specific standards and legislation in North America to support rope access systems, companies and operators were at times prevented from working by safety managers and legislators. SPRAT®


’s development of industry-consensus standards has raised the awareness of the safety and


effectiveness of rope access systems. PMI® is proud to be a founding member of SPRAT®


and continues to provide support by participating on the SPRAT®


tory committees. You can visit www.sprat.org for more information, or contact VRS™ for upcoming SPRAT®


certification courses. Board of Directors and regula-
