Glacier Energy’s Inspection Services division has achieved IRATA Membership. IRATA, the leading professional Rope Access authority’s membership is a fantastic addition to the existing achievements of the Inspection Services division. Previous achievements include the recent Safe Contractor accreditation, being an ISO17020 accredited Type C UKAS Inspection body and being ISO9001, 14001 and 45001 Certified.
To achieve the IRATA membership, the team worked hard to ensure all requirements were met. The team went through an extensive auditing process to ensure all management system procedures were compliant along with confirming the new Rope Access procedure and risk register met IRATA’s requirements.
It is a requirement of IRATA members to follow approved procedures, which will be continually assessed through audit, review and control both internally and externally. This will contribute towards ensuring the quality and safety of the work being carried out is sustained.
The achievement of the membership further assures clients of a safe working environment for all NDT requirements via Rope Access. The membership builds on the rigorous safety regulations that Glacier Energy already has in place including UKAS appointed chartered professionals such as PCN Level 3 Supervisors and Technical Authorities.
In the coming months, Rope Access will be added to the UKAS scope, thereby providing clients with further confidence of Glacier Energy’s high quality safety standards being maintained over time.
