IRATA (International Rope Access Trade Association) is the largest global working at height trade organization with members all around the world. Because of the development and enforcement of very high safety standards by IRATA not a single falls from height fatality has occurred within its member companies since its founding.

There are 30.000 IRATA trained rope access professionals around the world working for 230 member companies. Because the IRATA methods of working at height have such a solid safety track record, the industry has grown tremendously over the years. Rope access is often a very economical method of working at height avoiding the need to erect scaffolding.

Stopdrop Tooling joins IRATA as an Associate Member, meaning that we do not employ IRATA trained personnel. Dropped Objects being the second biggest worry when working at height, Stopdrop Tooling have a wide range of products which can further enhance the safety of this industry.

In close collaboration with several IRATA member companies, we have developed a round rope access tool bag which can be used with Stopdrop Tools. The bags are made from heavy duty Nylon with plastic reinforcing. Internal attachment points allow the tools to be secured to the bag permanently.
