⭐ROPE ACCESS⭐ Last week, we kicked off the first of many Stuart Olson Rope Access Workshops at the Pacific Ropes Training Center, in Edmonton and it was a resounding success! A large group of our skilled tradespeople had the unique opportunity to try climbing in a harness, gaining valuable hands-on experience before deciding to commit to the 5-day IRATA course. With approximately 1,600 tradespeople across Alberta, Stuart Olson is thrilled to integrate rope access into our services, further enhancing our ability to deliver safe, efficient, and innovative solutions.
