CAN YOU RIG TO A HANDRAIL? – TECH TALK - THE ROPE ACCESS AND CLIMBING PODCAST

Hello and welcome back to The Rope Access and Climbing Podcast. This week I am discussing some methods for rigging around, over and through handrails. Handrails on platforms. Handrails are a form of fall protection and are often incorporated into a rigged system. There is no right or wrong way to set up a system around a handrail. However, I will be looking at some pros and cons of a few handrail scenarios and what risks to consider when using them.


Let’s dive in!

Also, before I forget. I would like to say thank you again to Sam Hornby for the V-Rigger Drawings. Like I said, being on site right now doesn’t allow me to take these photos so I had to find another option.
