Project Guidance and Context

Advice for Rope Bridge projects such as Resorts, Adventure Parks, Schools or Trusts [National Trust, WWT, RSPB etc.]:

A Rope Bridge is a leisure activity within a safe/supported environment; it does not require participant active safety systems, belay or any specific training to use the facility. Other than possibly stepping onto and off an entrance platform there is minimal element of assault, obstacle, initiative or physical challenge.

It may be a sensible to consider this facility within the generic and overall context of EN 15567 in consideration of the obligations of Treehouse Life Ltd. [as Constructors] and you as our Client [as Operators], also as a framework for Inspections, Maintenance and Operation.

Compliance with the EN is NOT a legal requirement, nor is this EN relevant or specific to Rope Bridges - it is a European Ropes Course Standard relevant to High Ropes Courses and as such would normally rely upon a belay system, which DOES NOT apply to a Rope Bridge. However, it may be referred to as a guide by Health and Safety enforcing agencies when considering how a Constructor or Operator has discharged their health and safety duties.
