Safety harness eyebolts can be installed, both internally and externally, drilled and fitted to a variety of load bearing building fabrics. These eyebolts must be of a type specified in the British Standards for fall arrest of personnel, correctly fitted to ensure compliance with current regulations and to prevent injury to the user.

All our engineers are trained to give expert advice on the location and the fitting of safety harness eyebolts.

Eyebolts can be provided in a number of finishes including galvanised steel, stainless steel and plastic colour coatings to suit the location and environment.

The alternative to standard eyebolts, is the 'Pushlock Eyebolt', which incorporates a fixed socket permanently fitted to the building fabric and a stainless steel eyebolt unit that can be removed when not in use.

The regular inspection and annual testing of each individual eyebolt is a requirement of the current British Standard 7883. Our staff are equipped with calibrated testing equipment to undertake the annual certification within an occupied working environment.

Installing

• Anchor devices should be installed into load-bearing structural members.
• The position of an anchor device should be such that the lanyard or connector can be attached before the user moves into a position where he is at risk from falling.
• Consideration should be given to possible deterioration of anchoe devices, for example that caused by atmospheric conditions.

Testing

• Each and every anchor should be annually removed, examined and refitted.
• Each and every anchor should be annually tested to 5kN, and the load sustained for a minimum of 15 seconds.
• Each and every anchor should have PPE identification rings fitted stating the eyebolt ID and the next test due date. Failed eyebolts should be fitted with 'Do Not Use' labels or permanently removed.
• A Test Certificate is to be issued after satisfactory completion of the test. Introland also supply location sheets, which state exactly where all anchor devices are sited whether passed or failed.
