Building managers that engage Spectrum will be provided with the best staff in the country to carry out works; we offer a fully accredited service. A detailed report and roof plan of every building will be retained on file along with final certification. We do this so that we can make sure every building can prove compliance to all health and safety codes and guidance.

The revised Health and Safety Executive Regulations from 2005 specify that anybody that works at height must have the appropriate eyebolts or safety equipment. This is put in place to ensure fall protection.

Here at Spectrum, we are an authority on specialist rope access and working at height. We are also very happy to be able to extend our knowledge of safety in this area to our clients around the UK.

We understand that all our clients not only want to uphold the law but also want to ensure maximum safety and security for all of their staff and personnel. That’s why we offer our accredited service, including a detailed roof plan of the building and a hard copy of the report.

Why use Spectrum?

We offer a full range of services to meet all of your requirements for working at height. At Spectrum, we test and install eye bolts and safety systems for properties across the UK. Our experience and expertise in using these systems ensure the best possible installation, guaranteeing safe working and ease of use for any operatives using them.

There are a number of very good reasons why you should choose Spectrum to carry out your eyebolt inspections. These include:

Our Safety Record

At Spectrum, at all times we ensure that we are working to British Standards. When testing eyebolts, several factors have to be taken into consideration. First is the structure of the building. Second, the correct position of the eyebolt. You then have to take into consideration the potential fall distance for the user, as well as factors like other obstacles. These factors are all determined by the BS 7883:2005 Code of Practice. This governs the design, selection, installation, use and maintenance of anchor devices conforming to BS EN795.

We are Experts

All of our engineers are experts in their field. In addition, they are all fully trained in eyebolt testing, installation and the use of fall-arrest systems. We can also provide fully bespoke solutions for any safety or access issue you might have. These could range from a simple fixed ladder to a complete fall-arrest system for operatives.

We are Flexible

We know some clients are unable to have works carried out during normal working hours as it may be dangerous or disruptive. We are flexible and able to adapt to individual client needs. Get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements, and we will work with you to create a schedule of works that causes the minimum of disruption to your business.

Our Quality

Spectrum provides you with some of the best-qualified people in the country to carry out works. We also provide a fully accredited service. You will be given a detailed report and roof plan of every building we work on, and this will be retained on file along with final certification. We do this so that every building can prove compliance with all health and safety codes and guidance.

Eyebolt Installation

This is the process by which eyebolts are physically installed and attached to the surface of a building. We can install eyebolts into a variety of substrates such as concrete, brickwork and steel.

When installing eyebolts, we make sure that every positioning conforms to BS EN795:1997 Protection against falls from a height — anchor devices — requirements and testing, and the BS 7883:2005 Code of Practice for the design, selection, installation, use and maintenance of anchor devices conforming to BS EN795.

Eyebolts and Safety Systems Certification

By law, every eyebolt installed must be tested for strength and security at least once a year. Our team of engineers can carry out these tests, and also ensure that each eyebolt will be labelled with PPE identification tags. This will state the individual eyebolt ID, category of use and the next test due date. Any eyebolts that fail the testing procedure will be fitted with ‘Do Not Use’ tags or permanently removed if convenient.

After the tests have been carried out, a test certificate will be issued if the results are satisfactory. This certificate will also include any recommendations for any remedial work necessary. We will supply you with location sheets, which detail the exact location of all eyebolts, both those that passed and those that failed.

Eyebolts and Safety Systems Repairs

It is possible that some eyebolts or safety systems will require repairs before they can be signed off against British Standards. We will identify the offending bolts and their locations, and carry out the necessary repairs to ensure they meet British Standards.

Eyebolts and Safety Systems Testing

British Standards require that anchor devices used for fall arrest systems should be examined on an annual basis. This is in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for Mansafe testing. Eyebolt testing should be carried out by a competent person authorised by the manufacturer. If the eyebolts are used for work positioning or rope access, then line testing should be carried out every six months.

Here at Spectrum, we specialise in working at height and have the experience and accreditation to ensure all of your eyebolts are installed, certified and tested to meet the required standards, and to offer maximum protection for operatives working on your building.
