The ABC publishes and maintains a collection of guideline documents with the intention of ensuring an excellent and consistent level of operational safety across the climbing industry. The ABC guidelines outline a series of industry standards and make recommendations based on the experience of ABC members, BS EN Standards and relevant legislation and publications.
The guidelines are laid out in five easy to navigate sections. Parts one and two have recently been reissued and parts three to five will be rolled out in the coming months.
