Why Green Flag

Posted on | February 16, 2018

During my time with Global Ascent Inc and Team Qualspec, we spent a great deal of time & money subscribing to companies like ISNetworld, Browz & PICS Auditing (now Avetta) which became frustrating due to the fact that these safety auditing companies knew very little about the documentation process of Industrial Rope Access. This is why Green Flag spent the last year developing this platform and network that is totally dedicated to Industrial Rope Access companies.
