About this episode
This episode discusses the differences between anchors and anchorage in the context of rope access and their relevance to safety compliance.
This week we are having a quick chat about anchors and anchorage. what’s the difference and how it fits in with rope access. We have found that using these terms make it easy to describe parts of the system and how it falls into IRATA ICOP to comply. it also helps work out where and when the 2 points of connection starts and stops. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line @ Leigh@5thpoint.com.au Stay safe.
