Impact your upgrade eligibility
Lead to "skill fade", increasing safety risk on site
Raise issues during employer or site safety audits
Invalidate any liability insurance if an incident occurs
Reduce personal confidence when returning to the ropes
This course helps ensure you remain a competent and confident rope access technician, with your logbook and performance fully aligned with IRATA TACS standards.
