Steps
Confirm on sprat.org (or irata.org for the international body) the current certification levels (Level 1, 2, 3) and which level is required for the specific high-rise task being assigned.
Enroll technicians in an accredited SPRAT or IRATA training provider's course combining classroom instruction and hands-on evaluation, followed by a written and practical assessment by a certified evaluator.
Verify the technician's certification card is current and matches the level required for the job before assigning solo or lead-technician high-rise work.
Track each technician's renewal/recertification requirement individually and confirm the current renewal interval directly on sprat.org/irata.org rather than assuming a fixed cycle, since renewal cadence details found across sources are inconsistent and should be verified at the certifying body.
Coordinate rope-access work with the building's I-14.1-compliant anchor infrastructure and the BSC's fall-protection program so the two safety systems are consistent.
Known gotchas
SPRAT (North American-focused) and IRATA (internationally focused) are separate certifying bodies with their own evaluation processes; confirm which one the client or jurisdiction expects rather than treating them as interchangeable without checking.
Published sources disagree on exact renewal/validity periods for certification cards — get the authoritative current answer directly from sprat.org or irata.org rather than repeating a specific number from a secondary source.
Rope-access certification addresses individual technician competency, not the building's anchor equipment; both the technician's certification and the building's I-14.1-compliant anchors are needed for a fully compliant job.
