Phil Morley appointed Vice Chair of the IRATA UK and Ireland Regional Advisory Committee
)
More than a title
This isn't a significant appointment because of how it reads
on paper. It's significant because of what it represents for the industry.
The IRATA RAC exists to uphold and advance standards,
safety, quality of work, and working practices across the rope access sector.
As Vice Chair, Phil will work alongside the UK RAC Chair to support IRATA
member companies, raise concerns, share lessons learned, and drive the kind of
improvements that make a genuine difference on site.
Why it matters
IRATA is the leading body for industrial rope access, but
that standing doesn't maintain itself. It depends on people prepared to turn
up, speak out, and put in the work — in meetings, in conversations with
regulators, and in the ongoing effort of holding the industry to a higher
standard.
Phil has built Infinite Access around exactly those values:
integrity, trust, excellence, and ambition. They're the reason clients keep
returning, and the reason we take our position within the wider industry
seriously.
In this role, Phil will represent not only Infinite Access
but every IRATA member company across the UK and Ireland. That means
encouraging open dialogue, flagging legislative and regulatory shifts that
affect how rope access work is carried out, and actively encouraging more
companies to join the IRATA fold — because a stronger, more unified industry
benefits everyone within it.
What changes?
Phil continues to lead Infinite Access, overseeing a team
delivering complex access and engineering projects across the UK. But his
influence on industry standards now extends further. The RAC convenes regularly
to address the issues that count — safety incidents, emerging legislation,
training standards, and how IRATA continues to expand its reach both nationally
and internationally. Phil will now play a direct role in shaping those
discussions.
Raising the bar, one rung at a time
Done correctly, rope access is one of the safest and most
cost-effective ways to work at height. The RAC's job — and that of people like
Phil within it — is to keep it that way.
We're proud of this appointment. And more importantly, we're
ready to get to work.
