Eyebolt Installation and Testing

We are please to offer specialist installation and testing for all types of eyebolts. More accurately known, in the ‘safety system’ context as a Class A1 Anchor Device, the eyebolt can be installed into a wide range of surfaces to provide a safe point of anchorage. The positioning of eyebolts should always be determined by a competent person and must be installed in accordance with the requirements of BS 7883 and EN 795.

All A1 Anchor Devices require periodic inspection.

Fall Arrest Anchor Devices:

A fall arrest eyebolt needs to be installed to point of safety, for example inside by a window, and must be loaded correctly to a shear value. A single fall arrest eyebolt can only be used for fall arrest purposes.

Fall arrest anchor devices can be supplied as fixed or removable. The removable anchor has a permanently installed socket which is concealed by a flush fitting cover with the eyebolt then fitted like a ‘key’. The advantage of this type of eyebolt is it offers a visually unobtrusive solution where this is a concern.

Work Positioning:

Eyebolts used for work-positioning, or industrial rope access, are subject to greater strain than fall arrest anchor devices. As such, they must comply with the LOLER regulations. Eyebolts used for these purposes must be inspected at least every 6 months.
