Frontline VLP50 vertical lifeline questions answered
Is the Frontline VLP50 vertical lifeline CSA certified?
No. Frontline says it meets or exceeds applicable ANSI and OSHA standards, not CSA Z259. Check with your authority having jurisdiction whether ANSI/OSHA lifelines are accepted on your site.
Where is a 50 ft rope vertical lifeline used?
Anywhere a worker needs overhead fall protection while moving up or down: pitched roofs, scaffolds, swing stages and similar vertical work.
What is the stop knot on the VLP50 lifeline for?
The stop knot at the free end of the rope is there for added safety, so a rope grab can't run off the end of the line.
Should I choose the VLP50 or the VLP25 lifeline?
Pick the length that reaches from your anchor to the lowest point you work at. The VLP50 is 50 ft and the VLP25 is 25 ft, both in the same 5/8 in polysteel rope.
Does the VLP50 lifeline need inspection before use?
Yes. Inspect the rope, stop knot and snap hook before every use and have a competent person inspect it on a schedule. Remove it from service after any fall load or if it shows cuts, wear, corrosion or damage.
