Certification
Proves technical qualification for the activity.
Rope access requires technical skill.Operations require real readiness.
VERTEX OSS W360 helps your company see the physical-functional readiness of rope access professionals before problems appear.

The gap
What is missing in most operations today?
Medical fitness
Assesses medical fitness for work.
Physical-functional readiness
Shows whether the body can meet the real demands of the job, today and over time.
This is the gap VERTEX fills.
Why it matters
The job demands more than paperwork clearance.
Rope access demands the body in different situations, for long periods and under variable demand. Being prepared reduces risk and keeps the operation on pace.
Suspension & Endurance
Stability and control under load.
Ascent & Movement
Strength, endurance and coordination.
Tools & Load
Handling with precision and safety.
Fatigue & Recovery
Sustaining performance throughout the shift.
Operational safety in rope access
Does your company know exactly which harness and which equipment configuration best fit each worker?
In rope access, knowing only a worker’s body weight is not enough. VERTEX OSS W360 cross-references worker characteristics, operational load, equipment in use, documented limits, task and system configuration to support a safer technical decision.
Person+Equipment+Task+System+Operational context
Operational safety starts before suspension.
VERTEX structures worker and equipment information to identify incompatibilities, reduced margins, limiting components and better-fitting alternatives within the company’s own inventory.

Reduced marginTechnical Review Recommended
A documented margin is not a safety margin: operational safety depends on more variables than the difference between load and limit.
Your worker is within the limit. But is the complete system?
A system is only as capable as its limiting component
The nominal capacity of a single piece of equipment does not automatically represent the operational capacity of the complete configuration.

VERTEX knows the equipment used in your operation
The company registers the equipment it uses in the field, and each record becomes part of the analysis.
Equipment record
- Manufacturer
- Model
- Size
- CA (Brazilian PPE certificate)
- Applicable standards
- Declared capacity
- Adjustment range
- Application type
- Inspection date
- Manual / documentation
- Condition of use
The same harness is not necessarily the best configuration for everyone
VERTEX can cross-reference- Body weight
- Operational load
- Height
- Waist
- Leg loop / thigh, when available
- Harness size
- Adjustment range
- Role
- Task
- Suspension time and condition
- Associated equipment
- Documented compatibility
- Compatibility with restrictions
- Reduced margin
- Adjustment / configuration required
- Documented incompatibility
- Insufficient Data
No “fit” or “unfit”: the result describes the documentation. The decision belongs to the technical lead.

In W360, this becomes a card on the worker’s profile
When a worker is identified as a rope access professional, W360 automatically activates the Rope Access — System Compatibility card.
The card brings together- Operational load
- Harness
- Associated equipment
- Limits
- Limiting Component
- Documented Margin
- Anthropometric fit
- Alerts
- Pending items
- Technical review
Without equipment information, the card shows EQUIPMENT DATA PENDING. Compatibility is never assumed.

Evidence-driven operational safety
VERTEX organizes the information needed to support the compatibility analysis of systems used in work at height and rope access, considering documented limits, configuration, application and operational characteristics.
Structured to support safety, traceability and technical decision requirements. The platform is a decision-support tool and does not replace Risk Analysis, operating procedures, manufacturer guidance or the assessment of the responsible professionals.
It’s not just about knowing who can work at height.It’s about knowing whether person, equipment and operation are technically aligned.
VERTEX OSS W360 turns scattered information into structured operational intelligence to support safety decisions in rope access.

The modules
What powers this reading
AV FORCE
Capacity measured against real job demand: strength, mobility, endurance, motor control and asymmetries.
TECHNICAL REVIEW PENDING
Never issues fit/unfit or a medical diagnosis: the reading goes to the specialist for review.
W360
Not a snapshot. A longitudinal view of the person: baseline, trends, recovery and adherence.
T.R.P.
Train for real operational demand, not for a generic average.
