You should be using Industrial Rope Access techniques and equipment and be qualified in same to either IRATA or ARAA standards. A figure-8 on a looped double line is not legal or permitted in any circumstances in a workplace or under any Australian or Workcover Standard. Furthermore anyone setting anchors and shifting loads using ropes or cables needs to be a qualified rigger.
