Eyebolt Testing

Safety harness eyebolts provide an internal fixed anchor and can be installed and drilled/fitted to a variety of load bearing building substrates.

Safety eyebolts installed must be those specified in the British Standards for optimum safety of personnel and correctly fitted to ensure compliance with current regulations and to prevent injury to the users.

All HeightSafe Systems services are quality controlled, commercially competitive and more importantly fully insured.
