FAQ

Yes. Public safety is taken extremely seriously. We establish clearly defined exclusion zones beneath the work area and implement strict controls to prevent the risk of falling objects. All tools are tethered, and work is planned to minimise disruption to services, visitors, and the surrounding public.

Trio Access Ltd is fully certified under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations), British BS EN standards, and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 for all their working height equipment. Rope access is an internationally accepted safe system of work controlled by the International Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA).

Our operations meet the requirements of all relevant health and safety legislation and recognised industry standards, including:

• The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992
• The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996
• The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR) 1995
• CDM – The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994
• All current regulations and recognised industry codes of practice
• Equipment certified under LOLER
• Equipment management and reporting in accordance with RIDDOR 95 (HSE31)

Each project begins with a detailed site assessment and risk assessment, followed by a detail method statement. We design a bespoke rope access system using suitable anchor points that comply with BS EN 795 standards. Where required, we use specialist rope protection to ensure no damage occurs to stonework, roof coverings, or architectural features.

Safety is always our priority, particularly when working on historic and fragile buildings. All our technicians are fully trained and certified under the IRATA scheme and work strictly in accordance with the IRATA International Code of Practice (ICOP).

Historic structures require a sensitive and considered approach. Our team understands the delicate nature of heritage buildings and the importance of allowing them to age gracefully. This appreciation informs our gentle methodologies and bespoke rigging plans, which are designed specifically for each project.

Through careful planning and extensive experience, we consistently establish secure and fully compliant anchor points that meet all safety and load requirements without compromising the fabric of the building. This allows us to carry out works safely and effectively using rope access techniques, even in complex or sensitive environments.

All works are carried out strictly within the scope of works provided by the appointed architect or consultant. We can also provide video surveys, photographic records, and detailed project reports, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the project and for historical building records.

Yes. Trio Access Ltd holds full insurance coverage appropriate for rope access and specialist works, including cover for injury and property damage. In most cases, no additional insurance is required from the client, though we are happy to liaise with your insurers or advisors if needed.
