Fall Protection System and Eyebolt Test & Inspection

As with any form of protection, it is the duty holder’s responsibility to ensure that, prior to use, the fall protection equipment provided is inspected by a competent person. is inspected by a competent person.

Ensuring compliance and safety

The Working at Height Regulations (WAHR) 2005 states ‘Every employer shall ensure that, where the safety of work equipment depends on how it is installed or assembled, it is not used after installation or assembly in any position unless it has been inspected in that position.’

Cable-based systems, rail-based systems, and single-point anchors are the forms of fall protection that should be inspected at least every 12 months.

It is also stated in the WAHR: ‘Where work is carried out at height, every employer shall take suitable and sufficient measures to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, any person falling a distance liable to cause personal injury’ which is why it is so important that all testing, inspection, and certification of fall protection systems are carried out in accordance with current British Standards: BS EN 795 and BS EN 7883.
