Rescue Services

Strict Safety Compliance
Even with extensive experience and thorough planning, unexpected events can disrupt your projects. In such cases, having The IPS Group’s rope access team ready ensures that you’re prepared for any complications.

Industrial rope access involves highly trained specialists who use ropes and tools to safely perform tasks at heights or in confined spaces. This method ensures efficiency and safety in challenging environments.

Unlike rope rescue, which is geared toward emergency situations, rope access is primarily used for routine maintenance, inspections, and repairs in difficult-to-reach areas.

Our rope access operations strictly comply with OSHA, IRATA, and SPRAT regulations, ensuring the highest safety standards. We employ certified technicians with specialized training in petrochemical environments, capable of handling hazardous materials, confined space entry, and emergency response. Our services cover the inspection, maintenance, and repair of hard-to-reach areas such as tanks, chimneys, and offshore structures, all while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations to maintain productivity. By leveraging advanced equipment and rigging systems, we prioritize both safety and efficiency in every project.
