Safewaze fall protection Rope Grabs for synthetic rope lifelines qualify as OSHA-compliant energy absorbing components of a fall arrest system. When using a vertical cable rope grab for wire lifelines, an energy absorbing lanyard must be used. When using any rope grab, freefall distance must never exceed 6'.  The best way to ensure a freefall of 6' or less is to use a 2' or 3' long lanyard.

Safewaze fall protection is a proven performer in rope grabs and cable grabs. Years of research and development have resulted in simple designs and reliable lightweight products. In the event of a fall or slip, they lock onto the rope or cable, arresting the fall immediately. The automatic grabs follow the worker without assistance.

Applications: Small, lightweight rope-grabbing devices ride a vertical lifeline and automatically lock in place if a fall occurs. Rope grabs and cable grabs prevent workers from falling when ascending or descending. The range includes models for horizontal and vertical applications. They are particularly useful on sloping roofs where retractable lifelines may react too slowly.
