Why Eyebolt & Abseil Point Testing Matters

Eye bolts and abseil points play a critical role in fall protection systems, from rope access and window cleaning to façade maintenance and roof inspections.

Each anchor point must be tested and certified to ensure it can safely support the required load and protect against falls.

• Prevent system failure and ensure the integrity of fall protection systems

• Maintain compliance with BS EN 795 and BS 7883 standards

• Provide a safe working environment for anyone using the system

• Detect loose fixings or structural damage before failure occurs
