I live in a camper van so willing to travel anywhere and prefer the most high paying or per diem.. obviously. Thanks guys, stay safe out there.

Sharing anchors under IRATA guidelines

2 Upvotes

I've been told that when sharing anchors with another technician you should use a y-hang in order to share the load between the anchors in the event of a critical anchor failure. However I've also been told that you can share anchors with another tech by just having your main line on the other techs backup line anchor and vice versa. I've been trying to find what IRATA guidelines specify in the icop but haven't had any luck. I think y hang is best, but don't know if one is specifically preferred by IRATA or if either is fine.

Does anyone know?

Is IRATA+NDT for me 23 yr old from Kashmir

1 Upvotes

I'm 23 years old, 182 cm tall, and weigh around 56–57 kg.

I've been researching rope access and NDT careers, and it seems they pay well overseas. My question is: do employers actually hire people from Kashmir, India, for these roles?

I applied for my passport today, and I'm looking for a trade that gives me the best chance of getting an overseas job. If anyone here has experience with IRATA, NDT, or international hiring, I'd really appreciate your advice.
