Safe work at height isn’t just about the gear — it’s also about the skill of the technician using it. OSHA and industry standards like SPRAT (Society of Professional Rope Access Technicians) recognize three distinct levels of rope access technicians.
At Shine On Anchors, we ensure that our teams are trained, certified, and supervised according to these levels — so you can trust the safety of any work we do on your building.
What Are the 3 Levels of Rope Access Skill?
Level I Technician – Rope Access Worker
- Entry-level position
- Performs tasks under supervision
- Proficient in rope maneuvers, safety checks, and basic rescues
- Must be supervised by a Level II or Level III technician
Level II Technician – Lead Technician
- Intermediate level with advanced experience
- Leads rope access tasks and assists with rescues
- Can supervise Level I technicians
- Requires documented hours of rope access work and field evaluation
Level III Technician – Rope Access Supervisor
- Highest level of certification
- Responsible for job safety and site planning
- Can design rescue plans and oversee all technicians
- Ensures full compliance with OSHA, ANSI, and SPRAT standards
Why Technician Levels Matter for Your Building
When hiring a contractor for suspended work — such as anchor inspections, facade maintenance, or high-rise window cleaning — it’s critical to know who’s showing up on your roof. At Shine On Anchors, we assign the right mix of certified rope access technicians to match the job scope and safety requirements.
This protects:
- Your building from liability
- Your workers from unsafe conditions
- Your business from non-compliance with OSHA or ANSI standards
Our Commitment to Training and Compliance
We go beyond the minimum by requiring our team to:
- Maintain up-to-date SPRAT certifications
- Undergo continuing education in rope access safety
- Work under direct supervision by senior Level III techs
You can trust that every job we perform — whether it’s anchor testing or suspended access cleaning — is done by professionals who meet or exceed OSHA skill-level expectations.
