Abstract: A swivel anchor includes a handle, a central rod, a nut, a swivel ring having an anchor ring and a base member, and an adjustable anchor bar configured to toggle between a vertical configuration and horizontal configuration. The swivel ring is configured to freely rotate 360 degrees around the central rod. A harness or self-retracting lifeline may be couplable to the anchor ring, providing an anchor point used by workers for fall protection. The anchor bar features a tubular body having an indented top surface with machined grooves that provide additional means of friction against a deck.
