Industrial Rope Access
Industrial Rope Access (IRA) is an extremely safe and efficient solution to the challenges of working at height, combining unparalleled versatility with a minimal environmental footprint. This two-rope system is used worldwide as a viable alternative to the more encumbered swing scaffolding typically used on high-rise buildings, bridges or other structures. Let us show you a safe, cost-efficient solution to your work-at-height challenges.

LL 11/98 IRA-based Inspections
The combined approach of versatile IRA-trained inspectors equipped with state-of-the-art digital cameras and mobile computers for recording field observations means more surface area can be inspected in less time. Engineers can focus their attention on assessing problem areas uncovered by the field observations. Work scopes for necessary repair work can be more accurately defined by reviewing work needed by area, adding to overall efficiency. Proprietary software allows a "paperless" report to combine pictures of any defects with the inspector’s observation comments. Once logged, a legal, tamperproof, formatted document is generated. This report can be printed, e-mailed or exported as an Excel document, perfect for searching or integrating with many other maintenance and report programs.

Fall Protection
One of the greatest concerns for employers and employees alike, fall protection is a job in and of itself. Recent amendments in OSHA standards have resulted in substantial changes in the field. Equipment that was compliant a year ago can get you fined today. Properly equipping workers takes more than simply handing out safety belts. East River Rigging can help assess exposures, train and equip your personnel. From acting as your "competent person-at-height" to maintaining your inspection logs, we can help.

Whether inspecting bulkheads, scaling road cuts or stabilizing rock faces, our specialists have the skill and credentials to get the work done safely and efficiently.

Stand-by Safety
Occasionally, you may find yourself with a fall hazard you are not familiar with, unusually exposed to, or unable to fully comply with OSHA’s requirement to provide on-site rescue capability. We can help. East River Rigging will supply manpower and equipment appropriate for the situation. Rather than attempting to train and equip your people for a limited exposure situation, use our [removed][removed] s.
