Posted By Frank Hallett Hi Grant Sorry, but it really does depend [sorry] entirely upon the circumstances. You haven't really provided sufficient info to get a definitive answer other than "look in the WaH Regs". There are many circumstances where single eye-bolts may be acceptable; there are certainly more where they wouldn't! Trouble is, there is also a wide ranging middle ground where either may apply but a dependant on the actual situation. Frank Hallett

Posted By Paul Oliver why not position your bolts so that operatives have to clip onto two bolts at a time, this way when they unclip from one they are still clipped onto another, therefore maintaining 100% protection. If they won't clip on, then get rid of them, they are placing themsleves in danger and also yourslef and the company. Also if is reasonably foreseeable that your employees will not clip on then the findings of you risk assessment and the control measure of clipping on are not suitable and sufficient. It infuriates me to hear when employees refuse to co-operate with equipment provided in the interests of their health, safety and welfare (mmm sections 7 & 8)
