Roof Skylight Safety Systems
for Roof Skylights / Skylight Guarding
Working around unprotected roof skylights and floor openings is a major fall protection hazard that can be safely protected with our Roof Skylight Systems. These systems have a freestanding, non-penetrating design that allows you to easily implement OSHA fall protection coverage for your roof skylight applications.
Dome Skylight Screens
CAI Safety provides Fixed Dome Skylight Safety Screens that are OSHA and CAL-OSHA fall protection compliant. They fit a variety of dome-shaped skylights and don’t take up any space on the roof.
Skylight Cover Guard
The Non-penetrating Skylight Guard is simply placed over the top of the skylight. Four rubber-tipped compression bolts secure the guard against the curb of the skylight to hold it in place.
Skylight Guardrail
The Non-penetrating Skylight Guardrail is one more unique way to guard a skylight. The system surrounds the skylight with an OSHA complaint 42” high barrier that compression fits against the skylight curb.
Standing Seam / Corrugated Skylights
The Metal Roof Skylight Screens are available in a range of sizes and configurations to retrofit your metal roof, from standing seam roofs to corrugated fiberglass roof skylights.
