Guardian Fall Protection

Swivel Concrete Anchor Kit

The Guardian 00242 kit packages the swivel concrete anchor with its installation components, so the crew that shows up to a bare slab leaves with a rated, rotating tie-off point installed. The swivel head follows the worker to keep connector loading aligned.

The kit serves one worker per installed anchor under OSHA 1926.502 and 1910.140, installed per the drilling, embedment, and concrete requirements in the manual.

Who Needs This Product

The kit format is about the truck: everything the installation needs arrives in one box, so a concrete tie-off point goes in without a parts run. Formwork crews, plant maintenance, and tilt-up contractors keep a kit on hand for the slab that has no anchorage. The reusability and re-installation rules live in the manual and are worth reading before planning anchor locations.

3. Install per the manual. Follow the substrate, fastener, and orientation requirements exactly; fill every required fastener position.
4. Verify the connection. Confirm the anchor is fully seated and the connection point is accessible and undamaged.
5. Connect the system. Attach a compatible connecting device and verify the complete personal fall arrest system with a competent person.
6. Check clearance. Confirm fall clearance below the work area and minimize swing fall hazards before work begins.
