Does anyone work at heights without using a pole , there are quite a few buildings where I live that you cant get to with a pole and the only other way would be a harness .Has anyone been on any training courses for this. Are they worth it . 
I went on an IRATA training course many years ago, and it was a waste of time, the training lasted 1 week; it was good training, probably the best you could get. Trouble was after the weeks training, and passing the tests, you were still expected to have someone at a higher level work with you, at a very expensive rate.
