edgewalker

An edgewalker is a type of professional who specializes in walking along the edges of structures, such as buildings, bridges, and other man-made objects, to perform various tasks. These tasks can include inspection, maintenance, and repair work. Edgewalkers use specialized equipment, such as harnesses, ropes, and safety lines, to navigate along the edges of structures safely. They are trained in techniques such as rope access, which involves ascending and descending structures using ropes and harnesses. Edgewalkers are commonly employed in the construction, maintenance, and repair industries, as well as in the energy and telecommunications sectors. They play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and integrity of structures by performing tasks that would otherwise be difficult or dangerous to accomplish from the ground. Edgewalking is a highly skilled profession that requires extensive training and certification.
