亞陞國際工程有限公司在2015年10月7日，接收到IRATA的通知：IRATA的訓練委員會將會在TACS中新增有關學員註冊、直升的新辦法，目前正在努力的討論跟改善當中；另外針對其中最有爭議的技術員時數簽核發布了新的規範，讓全世界的IRATA技術員能夠更真實的將自己的工作時數完整的被計算在時數本裡，不會再因為工作現場沒有IRATA三級而辛苦的工作時數無法被計算進時數本導致無法升級。

以下是IRATA來信原文，亞陞整理的翻譯中文如後：

Dear Jay,

Non IRATA L3 Signatures in Logbooks

The Training Committee are in the process of updating 032R procedures for IRATA registrations and direct entry into two annexes to the TACS document.
Whilst this is being carried out the only guidance for logbook signatures is in TACS 4.13 and

4.17.7 where it is stated that:

4.13.1 Logbooks are issued by the IRATA International office and shall be maintained by the rope access Technician. Logbook entries shall be countersigned by the supervising Level 3 rope access Technician.
4.14.7 Under the heading Supervisor’s signature, all logbook entries shall be countersigned by the supervising Level 3 rope access Technician, who shall log their name (printed clearly), signature and IRATA International unique number.

NOTE: Rope access Technicians wishing to upgrade who are unable to provide Level 3 signatures should contact an IRATA training member company prior to booking on a course.

When contacted for advice and until we have a version of TACS annex B that has been agreed by the membership, the following applies:

·  Technicians that are not always able to obtain signatures from an IRATA level 3 should have their hours signed by a person in authority who can verify that the hours are accurate and have been completed on a double rope system. The person approving the hours logged should print their name, position and leave a contact telephone number.

·  If this is done retrospectively, an official letter from an employing company verifying multiple entries is also acceptable.

Examples of people who may sign logbooks are:

·  Rope access supervisor from other systems e.g. Soft L4 or Sprat L3, ARAA L2/L3
      - (If unsure contact the local RAC for advice);

·  Rope access project manager or company managing director.

Training companies and Instructors should ensure that the candidate has knowledge of the IRATA system before presenting the candidate for assessment.

When faced with logbooks containing non IRATA L3 signed hours, training companies and IRATA Assessors should be extra vigilant as to the validity of these hours. In such cases, in order to better evaluate the candidate’s rope access experience, Assessors should evaluate the candidate's previous workplace knowledge. Level 3 candidates should also successfully answer questions that will help to determine their level of knowledge of the ICOP and understanding of the IRATA system.

非IRATA三級簽核IRATA時數本的辦法:

技術員不是永遠都能夠有三級在工作現場簽核時數，當這個情況發生時，技術員的時數簽核可以由確認工作時數及可以確認完整的雙繩技術系統的現場監督或現場主管來作簽核，簽核時數的人需簽上姓名、職稱以及連絡電話供詢問及查詢。

為了回顧確認數本上時數，使用從技術員的公司發出的正式信函，用以證明此員從事多個工作項目的方式是可以被接受的。

如果工作現場無IRATA三級監督，當時可簽時數本的人員有：(舉例)

1.     來自其他繩索技術系統的現場監督例如: SOFT L4(挪威繩索技術組織四級) 或SPRAT L3(美國專業繩索技術員學會三級)，ARAA L2/L3(澳洲繩索技術協會二級/三級)

(如果不確定，可以咨詢當區域的IRATA分部)

2.    繩索技術專案經理或公司主管 (亞陞註：工作現場聘請你去的公司主管、各級繩索技術員、業主等)

訓練中心跟IRATA教練須要讓學員在評核前有IRATA系統的知識及概念

 

阿杰的感想：

如果您是IRATA技術員，並且用雙繩工作超過一千小時，您想升級可是工作現場沒有三級的IRATA繩索技術員，請您先行向亞陞訓練中心報名亞陞的相關課程，並且詢問時數簽核的辦法。

沒有一種規範可以完全杜絕與防止偷機取巧的人，但目前這個簽核辦法卻可以幫助真正想要成長及追尋技術能力的人。

最重要的還是技術員自己的誠實及對安全的要求。
