A rope-to-rope transfer introduces an IRATA Level 1 trainee to moving safely from one independent rope system to another.

The technician must plan the sequence, maintain the required attachments and manage both systems without losing control of their position or equipment. Each connection and transfer of load needs to be deliberate.

This reel shows part of a rope-to-rope transfer being demonstrated during practical IRATA Level 1 training at Dangle Academy in Belfast.

EUSR Rooftop Worker Safety & Access

Rooftop work presents hazards that differ from tower climbing—and safe access starts before anyone steps onto the roof.

Our EUSR Rooftop Worker programme is designed for telecoms personnel and contractors who need to access and work safely on rooftop environments. Training covers rooftop hazards, access arrangements, fall prevention, emergency considerations and practical decision-making.

Delivered at Dangle Academy in Belfast. Company bookings and individual enquiries are welcome.

A proud milestone for Dangle®! 🚀

We’re delighted to be featured in today’s Belfast Telegraph, sharing the news of a £60,000 investment in Dangle® through the Investment Fund for Northern Ireland, managed by Whiterock.

What started with a vision to bring specialist rope access training to Belfast has grown into something much bigger.

Since opening Dangle Academy in September 2025, we’ve continued to invest in our facilities, expand our accredited training programmes and create opportunities for people looking to develop careers in specialist industries.

Today, we’re proud to operate Belfast’s only IRATA-certified rope access training centre, alongside our growing portfolio of GWO, EUSR and workplace safety training.

This investment represents another important step forward, supporting our ambitions to develop Dangle® as both a specialist training provider and an industrial services business.

We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but we’re only getting started.

A huge thank you to Whiterock, the British Business Bank and everyone who has supported our journey. And, of course, to the Belfast Telegraph for sharing our story!

Passing an edge is one of the points where an IRATA Level 1 trainee must bring positioning, equipment management and controlled movement together.

The change from a horizontal surface to suspension alters how the system is loaded. Before moving beyond the edge, the technician must organise their equipment, manage the ropes and maintain control through the transition.

This reel shows part of the technique being demonstrated during practical IRATA Level 1 training at Dangle Academy in Belfast.

More incident reports do not automatically mean that a training environment has become less safe. They can indicate that people are more willing to speak up, record what happened and share what can be learned.

In its Q2 2026 update, GWO reported an increase in incidents submitted by the training community. GWO explained that the data is used to identify patterns, share learning and inform improvements to training standards — not as a negative KPI against those reporting.

That distinction matters. A strong safety culture does not hide incidents or near misses. It:

• Makes reporting straightforward
• Reviews what happened without blame
• Identifies practical corrective actions
• Updates risk assessments and controls
• Shares learning before an event is repeated

Reporting is only the first step. The value comes from what the organisation changes afterwards.

A recognised certificate may be essential—but it is rarely the only thing an employer needs before someone can be deployed.

“Site-ready” can mean having the complete evidence and practical preparation required for the specific role, including:

• The correct, current certification for the work
• Verified identification and accurate training records
• Medical fitness where the role or standard requires it
• A properly maintained logbook where applicable
• Practical competence appropriate to the level held
• Site, client and project-specific requirements
• An understanding of the limits of your own competence

Requirements differ between rope access, wind, telecoms and industrial projects. Before investing in training, start with the role you are targeting and work backwards from the actual employer or site requirements.

Been off the ropes for six months or more?

IRATA requires technicians who have not been engaged in rope access work for 180 days or longer to attend refresher training.

That is not the same as recertification. It is a practical return-to-work step designed to refresh core techniques before you resume rope access duties.

If your logbook shows a long gap, check what applies before accepting your next assignment. Dangle Academy delivers IRATA refresher training in Belfast for returning technicians.
