Frequently Asked Questions

What size harness do I need?

Frontline harnesses come in S/M, M/L, L/XL, and XXL sizes. Size is determined by chest measurement and weight. Most workers between 130-180 lbs fit M/L, while workers 180-230 lbs typically need L/XL. Always check the sizing chart and adjust all straps for a snug fit with the dorsal D-ring centered between the shoulder blades.

What is the difference between the 50VTB and 110VTB?

The 50VTB is an economy harness with steel hardware, while the 110VTB Combat Lite features aluminum hardware for reduced weight. Both are CSA-certified and include trauma straps. Choose the 110VTB for all-day comfort or the 50VTB for budget-conscious occasional use.

What comes in the K100-62R compliance kit?

The K100-62R Compliance Kit includes a Combat series full body harness, a 6-foot twin leg shock-absorbing lanyard with rebar hooks, and a drawstring storage bag. It's a complete fall arrest system ready to use out of the box.

How long do harnesses last?

Frontline recommends a maximum service life of 5 years from first use, though harnesses must be retired sooner if they show damage or have arrested a fall. Always follow manufacturer guidelines and maintain inspection records. Some employers establish shorter service life policies based on their specific working conditions.

Are these harnesses legal across Canada?

Yes. All Frontline harnesses are CSA Z259.10-18 certified, meeting the Canadian standard required by provincial occupational health and safety regulations in Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec, and all other provinces and territories. They also meet ANSI Z359.11 for cross-border work.

What are trauma straps and why do I need them?

Trauma straps (also called suspension trauma straps or relief straps) are loops that deploy from the harness allowing a suspended worker to stand and relieve pressure on the leg straps. This helps prevent suspension trauma, a potentially fatal condition caused by blood pooling in the legs during prolonged suspension. All Frontline vest-style harnesses include trauma straps.
