Why RAI

Since its founding in 2009, Rope Access Inspection (RAI) has evolved from a labor-supply firm into a premier provider of specialized work-at-height and safety solution teams. With deep roots in the offshore oil and gas, petrochemical, and renewable sectors, RAI has built a reputation for excellence by strictly adhering to IRATA procedures and global safety benchmarks.

Committed to excellence, RAI employs only IRATA-certified technicians who meet global standards. In 2012 the company invested in enhanced employment policies, training, and a continuous re-assessment program to ensure quality of their technicians and services.
