ANSI Z359.18-2017 compliant, this all-welded galvanized carbon steel anchor provides a fixed-position connection point elevated 12 inches above the walking\/working surface—giving workers a clean, purpose-built tie-off for personal fall arrest, restraint, or horizontal lifeline systems.

Unlike temporary anchors that install and remove with each job, the 78012WCSWE is designed to be fastened once and stay in place—providing a dedicated connection point for every worker who needs it on that structure. The welded-eye design eliminates the moving parts of swivel or threaded-hole configurations, offering a simple, fixed-position ring for direct carabiner or snap hook connection. The galvanized finish protects the steel against corrosion across Canadian weather conditions, and the 12\" post height raises the connection above obstructions on the roof or deck surface. Ideal for permanent rooftop fall protection programs, inspection access points, and anywhere a fixed overhead anchor makes sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 class=\"fpc-h2\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-spec-grid\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-spec-card\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eFixed-Position Welded Eye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e1-1\/4\" x 2\" welded eye accepts user's preferred fall arrest components—carabiners, snap hooks, or anchor slings.

It is not third-party certified to CSA Z259.15 (Anchorage Connectors). Canadian provincial OHS codes generally require anchor points capable of supporting 22.2 kN (5,000 lbs) per worker for fall arrest, or engineered systems rated to at least twice the maximum arrest force. The 78012WCSWE meets the 5,000 lb static strength requirement, but final acceptance on a Canadian jobsite is the responsibility of the installing party, a qualified professional engineer, or the site safety officer. Confirm acceptance with your provincial OHS authority or project engineer before specifying this anchor for Canadian fall arrest use.

For HLL use, the anchor must be installed and loaded according to the HLL system manufacturer's specifications, and the substrate must be engineered to accept the peak loads an HLL generates in a fall event.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-item\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-q\"\u003eWhy choose a welded eye instead of a swivel D-ring?\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-a\"\u003eA fixed welded eye has no moving parts, which simplifies inspection and eliminates wear points. It is also typically lower cost. A swivel D-ring allows the connection to rotate with the worker, reducing side loading on the carabiner and improving freedom of movement. Choose welded eye for simple, low-traffic tie-off points; choose swivel D-ring when workers move around the anchor frequently.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-item\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-q\"\u003eIs this anchor reusable after a fall?\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"fpc-faq-a\"\u003eLike any fall arrest component that has arrested a fall, the 78012WCSWE should be inspected by a competent person following any fall event. FallTech's installation manual and ANSI Z359.18 require post-fall inspection. If the anchor, base plate, or fasteners show any deformation, cracking, or damage, the anchor must be retired and the structural substrate re-evaluated before a replacement is installed.\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 class=\"fpc-h2\"\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Availability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe FallTech 78012WCSWE ships from Canada to all provinces and territories.
