rope access work 31-May-2007 At 6:44:08 PM SteveC

So if a window cleaner gets around 25 dollars an hour for basic quals. Do you have any idea what a qualified fitter or electrician or any other trades for that matter might expect to be paid to replace a flange gasket or to replace a proxy cell on an otherwise inaccessable valve on a rig in the bass straight.
Considering the pay that tradespeople get on these remote rigs is substantially higher than they can expect working a 5 day week in the cities, how much is the rope access work qualification actually worth on top of that when compared to what a garden variety tradesmen might get paid to change the ubiquitous flange gasket accessable from the deck of a remote rig in the bass straight.
also how much do these quals actually cost to attain?
