Introduction Ropes courses vary considerably and may be used for education, recreational, training or therapeutic purposes. Ropes course activities involve risks that should be managed by the operators. This is achieved through careful supervision, training, instruction, information etc. Ropes course activities should only be taken by those who are physically and mentally able to comply with the safety requirements specified by the operator. The various safety devices consist of equipment designed to limit the consequences of falls or collisions. There are inherent risks associated with ropes courses. These risks should however be appropriately managed and minimised by the ropes course operator and his staff; it should be understood that they can not be eliminated altogether. On the basis of a risk assessment, operators should take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the safety of participants. This means that the degree of risks in a particular job/work place/facility needs to be balanced against the time, trouble, cost, benefits and physical difficulty of taking measures to avoid or reduce the risk.
Ropes course operators should also consider EN 15567-1, when carrying out risk assessments. SIST EN 15567-2:2008
