AGHP 2018 Rope Access Safety Recognition Program

To promote safe work environments within the Geohazard industry, AGHP has initiated an industry-wide Rope Access Safety Recognition Program.  This annual program will recognize companies that develop and implement safe rope access work procedures, provide education and training to their personnel, and commit to enhancing the safety culture within their organizations.  A review of the applicants’ safety program and performance metrics will be conducted including Total Incident Rates and Lost Time / Modified Duty Rates statistics.  Additionally, the corporate application will measure management involvement & commitment to the firm’s safety program, review their written rope access safety procedure, and determine adherence to industry best practices.
