Steps
Determine whether SPRAT (more common in North America) or IRATA (more common internationally, and accepted by some jurisdictions such as certain city Department of Buildings programs) certification is required or preferred by the client/jurisdiction
Enroll technicians in a Level 1 rope-access course combining classroom instruction with hands-on skills and a written/practical exam
Progress technicians through Level 2 and Level 3 over time as experience accrues, since higher levels add rigging, rescue-management, and site-supervision responsibilities
Verify each technician carries a current, unexpired SPRAT or IRATA card on-site, as required by many building owners and local regulatory programs
Track certification expiration and re-certify technicians on the applicable renewal cycle before cards lapse
Layer rope-access work practices on top of, not instead of, applicable OSHA fall-protection requirements for the work being performed
Known gotchas
SPRAT and IRATA are two separate certifying bodies with their own cards/levels — confirm which one a specific building, city program, or client contract actually requires rather than assuming they are interchangeable everywhere
Certifications expire and must be renewed on a defined cycle — verify current renewal timelines directly with SPRAT (sprat.org) or IRATA (irata.org) rather than assuming a fixed number of years without checking
Holding a rope-access card does not by itself satisfy all OSHA fall-protection or window-cleaning safety-standard obligations — confirm the full applicable regulatory stack (OSHA, ANSI/IWCA I-14.1, local code) for the specific job
