nope it is not the one for ladders and no they are not fitted high up, they need to be hooked onto before you go out, if that is how you do it, trying to find pics but can't find decent ones yet

Outside bolts have been band inside only.

Outside bolts have been band inside only.

by who, do you have a link to prove it so I can check it out

[stuart mc]

I am not doubting you, I just need to back it up when I approach the building manager  and tell them all windows need serviced and eyebolts fitted internal

If bolts are on outside dont use they must be on inside.

if that is true why are companies still fitting them outside and certifying them annually?

Can't answer your question but I grew, this has been my experience.
Though only certified every 4 years for the job we did...

thanks that looks pretty clear, until I went to hse website and found the document that is taken from
http://www.hse.gov.uk/falls/downloads/anchors.pdf

now when you read that it isn't so clear, but what is clear is the companies that fit and inspect these points have to know and be trained, and it makes it clear that just reading that document does not make you competent to decide, so the only for me to know is to speak about this document with the installers, at least I know what I need to do now
