Rope Access Logbook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rope Access Logbook is an offline-first logbook for rope-access technicians working under SPRAT and IRATA certification systems. Log hours from the tower top, capture supervisor signatures on the spot, back everything up to the cloud, and prove your record with a tamper-evident hash chain. YOUR DEVICE IS THE SOURCE OF TRUTH No signal required. Your logbook lives in a local database on your phone. The cloud is optional — never required. SIGNATURES THAT MEAN SOMETHING Your supervisor signs on your screen, or from their own phone through a one-time signing link. Every signed entry is canonicalized and hashed, and each signature folds in the hash of the one before it. Touch any entry and every link after it breaks — visibly. Auditors don't have to trust the app; they can verify the chain. AMENDMENTS, NOT EDITS A signed entry is never altered. Corrections become new entries that reference the original — exactly the trail an assessor wants to see. BUILT FOR THE WORK • Rope hours: dates, tasks, access methods, heights, structure types • NDT hours: a separate verified ledger covering 11 inspection methods • Gear inventory: harnesses, ropes, and hardware with inspection history and service life • Required-field gating so entries are complete before they can be signed • Logging reminders via on-device notifications BACKED UP, RESTORABLE Your full logbook backs up to your account and restores onto a new phone — chain intact. Lose the device, not a single hour. AUDIT-GRADE EXPORTS Hand over a clean, verifiable export when assessment day comes: your hours, signatures, and chain, formatted to be checked. SUBSCRIPTION Rope Access Logbook requires a subscription, billed through your App Store account. Payment is charged on confirmation of purchase; the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Rope Access Logbook is an independent product. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or officially accepted by SPRAT or IRATA.
