What device is used to suspend a single inspector for rope-access inspections?

• A. Bosun Chair
• B. Climbers
• C. Mobile Scaffold
• D. Ladder

Answer: (A)

In rope-access inspections, you need a device that lets a single person be supported from a rope while you work. The bosun chair is exactly that: a seat attached to a rope that supports one worker, keeping you in a stable, seated position so you can inspect the surface with both hands free. It’s designed for solo use and is typically part of a safety system with a backup line or belay for redundancy. The other options aren’t used to suspend a single inspector from a rope: climbers are people, not equipment; a mobile scaffold is a ground-based platform, not a rope-suspension device; and a ladder is for climbing up and down, not for suspended work at height.
