RopeLab Workshops

At RopeLab, we believe that if people have a sound understanding of their roped systems, they will make safer and smarter work choices.  Working towards this outcome, our workshops always incorporate both physics theory and practical scenarios.  Building a sound theoretical understanding of the physics of systems allows people to better predict and estimate outcomes. Practical scenarios help people to apply and experiment with their theoretical understanding, as well as providing opportunity to practice their skills.

We deliberately make our workshops accessible to people from a variety of roping backgrounds.  While this means that sometimes some content may not be tailored exactly to your application, we find that there are great benefits to people from a range of backgrounds exchanging their ideas, methods and experiences.

Richard is an experienced trainer and educator with extensive experience in rope access and vertical rescue.  See more about his story here.  He is able to develop and deliver a range of training sessions to a variety of audiences.
