Safety systems provider High Q will test its limits in Tokyo after striking a deal through Austrade to provide rope access training to a Japanese company.
Brisbane-based High Q is a leader in Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) safety training, using its systems to secure people working at heights.
High Q will assist in improving safety and operation standards of industrial rope usage abroad.
In a city of skyscrapers, the Japanese trainees will benefit from High Q’s IRATA skills in difficult situations such as large-scale window cleaning.
Austrade’s Tokyo-based senior trade commissioner, Elizabeth Masamune, says High Q’s success is a testament to the skills of the Australian services sector.
“High Q represent an excellent example of the diversity of Australian services companies that have the capacity to win business in Japan,” Masamune says.
Over the 2007-2008 period Austrade helped 628 Australian businesses achieve deals in Japan worth $1.15 billion.
