Is the Frontline RGSS58 CSA certified? Compliance in Canada
Is the Frontline RGSS58 CSA certified?
No. Frontline states it meets applicable OSHA and ANSI standards; it is not CSA Z259 certified. For a CSA-marked rope grab and lifeline, see our Safety Direct range.
What rope does the RGSS58 fit?
A 5/8 in diameter vertical lifeline rope. Use it with the matching rope and a compatible energy-absorbing lanyard or shock pack on the connecting eye.
Does it move with me while I climb?
Yes. It tracks along the lifeline as you climb up or down and locks in the case of a fall; the anti-panic feature keeps it locking if you grab it in a fall.
How often should a rope grab be inspected?
Before every use, and formally by a competent person at least once a year. Remove it from service after any fall.
Pair the Frontline RGSS58 with a lifeline and lanyard
The RGSS58 is the grab. Add a 5/8 in vertical lifeline, a shock-absorbing lanyard and a full-body harness for a complete system.
