Why Atlas Access is the best training companies in Sydney

Among rope access companies in Sydney, Atlas Access is consistently rated as the best. Our priority for safety is a key reason. We have a flawless safety record despite many years in the business, and that’s because we take safety very seriously.

It’s important for your company, because injuries, accidents, and property damage are all things you will want to avoid. Obviously it’s never a nice feeling when something unexpected and negative happens, and then there are all the delays which follow when a matter is investigated.

After an investigation, if you were held to be liable, you could face harsh fines, civil law suits, or even criminal prosecution.

All that can be avoided by ensuring only appropriately qualified personnel are working at heights. The qualifications required for this kind of work are accredited IRATA certifications, and you should insist on this level of certification for anyone performing work at heights, because if you don’t, the risks are simply too great.
