Skylight Protection

Skylight Protection

Non-penetrating screens and barrier rails that guard against a commonly overlooked rooftop fall hazard.

Screen or Barrier Rail? Both satisfy OSHA. Which one fits depends on the skylight and on who goes near it.

**Screens mount directly to the curb and cover the opening itself. They are the compact choice, they do not intrude on the surrounding roof, and they keep working even if someone walks straight onto them.
**Barrier rails ring the skylight with guardrail and keep workers away from the dome entirely. They suit clustered skylights, unusually large openings, and curbs not strong enough to carry a screen.

On standing seam and R-panel roofs we use a profile-specific screen that clamps to the seam. If you have a mix of skylight types across a portfolio, our site assessment inventories every opening and standardizes the fix.

We deliver OSHA-compliant skylight fall protection, including our curb-mounted SkyGuard screens rated to arrest a falling worker with minimal daylight loss, cost-effective standard screens, profile-specific metal roof screens that clamp to standing seams, and our SkyView barrier rail system for clustered or oversized openings. We help you choose between screens that mount to the skylight curb without penetrating your roof membrane and non-penetrating barrier rails with weighted bases when a curb can’t carry the load—protecting your warranty while securing your people. We begin with site visits and risk assessments to inventory every skylight across your portfolio and standardize the fix, because a guarded roof edge doesn’t address unprotected openings. We support your architects and engineers with free specifications and instant-access REVIT files (no login), and we provide supply-only or turnkey installation through our in-house team serving all 50 states (now also Canada). We back your program with nationwide engineering, inspection, and anchor certification services—and we respond fast with three touch points within 36 hours—to keep your facility compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.28(b)(3).
