About Us
Skylife Solutions (Pty) Ltd. was established in 2017, by co-owner Jackie Schoeman, to meet the growing need for high-rise work in the central parts of South Africa. The founder and partners have collectively accumulated 25 years of hands-on experience in the different industries of interest. With an excellent understanding and knowledge of facilities and operations management, projects are planned according to your long-term goals.
We offer a wide range of high rise services to commercial, industrial and off-shore clients, reducing the safety risks and concerns associated with ladders, scaffolding and heavy lifting machinery. Via rope access, our highly-qualified team turns high rise tasks into efficient, safe and cost effective projects.
What is Rope Access?
Rope access is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical ropework to allow workers to access difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an aerial work platform. Rope access technicians descend, ascend, and traverse ropes for access and work while suspended by their harness.
History
Rope access started in the early eighties with the development of safety techniques making it appropriate to work at height. In 1987 the world’s first rope access trade association, Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA), was formed. The UK’s Government health and safety authority, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), was involved from the outset and was a prime mover in ensuring that rope access would be a safe system of work at height.
Our industry in South Africa, is regulated by Institute for Work at Height (IWH) and by respective national associations, standards and legislation in other countries.
All our rope access and working at heights activities is performed in accordance to current legislation, SANS and IWH standards.
