The eyebolt shoud have  a disc on it telling you when the next test is due. If its not after the date you need to use it, don't use it. They should be checked annually.

John you need to wear a full body harness, with a lanyard attached. If you need training any IPAF training centre will train and sell you the correct type.
Check the eye bolt fitted to the wall has been tested before using it.
