IRATA is the internationally recognised trade association for industrial rope access, setting the highest standards for safety and work-at-height practices.

With over 600 member companies and thousands of trained technicians worldwide, IRATA plays a crucial role in ensuring rope access work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in compliance with industry best practices.

Why This Partnership Matters

For businesses and professionals working in rope access, maintaining up-to-date equipment records and inspection schedules is critical for both safety and compliance. Papertrail’s powerful asset management and inspection software aligns perfectly with IRATA’s commitment to rigorous safety standards, making this membership a natural fit.

By joining IRATA as an associate member, Papertrail strengthens its connection with the rope access industry, ensuring that professionals have access to the best digital tools for managing their safety-critical equipment.

How Papertrail Supports Rope Access Professionals

Our platform is designed to help organisations in the rope access industry:

Reduce Risk

Managing safety-critical equipment in rope access environments is essential to reducing risk. Papertrail helps minimise human error by ensuring that all inspections, certifications, and maintenance records are up to date and easily accessible. By digitising safety records, organisations can identify potential issues before they become hazards, significantly lowering the likelihood of accidents and improving overall workplace safety.

Improving Efficiency

Time spent on paperwork and manual record-keeping is time taken away from essential operational tasks. Papertrail streamlines the equipment inspection and record-keeping process, reducing administrative workload and allowing teams to focus on their core responsibilities. Automated reminders and easy data retrieval ensure that compliance requirements are met without unnecessary delays or inefficiencies.

Driving Accountability

Accountability is key in maintaining high safety standards. With Papertrail, businesses can track and monitor inspections in real time, ensuring that all equipment checks are properly completed and documented. The ability to assign responsibilities and track user activity provides transparency, helping organisations meet regulatory requirements and fostering a culture of accountability within the team.
