FAQs
Roof skylight guards are designed to help facilities meet OSHA fall protection requirements by protecting workers from falls through skylights and other roof openings. Compliance depends on proper system selection, installation, and use.
Are snap hooks and carabiners required to be self-locking?
FAQs
Yes. ANSI requires snap hooks and carabiners used in fall protection systems to be self-closing and self-locking, requiring at least two deliberate actions to open.
Are the modular access stairs customizable?
Yes. The modular system can be configured using different components to meet specific application requirements. Stair angles, platform heights, platform configurations, handrails, and other system elements can be adjusted to suit the installation.Are there rescue (retrieval) requirements when using fall arrest?
FAQs
Yes. OSHA requires employers to provide for prompt rescue if a fall occurs (or ensure the worker can self-rescue), in both:
- Construction
- General industry
OSHA has also clarified that the rule does not specifically require a written rescue plan, but employers still must be capable of prompt rescue.
In California, Cal-OSHA explicitly requires a rescue plan and rescue equipment when PFAS are used.

Are warning line systems suitable for long-term outdoor use?
Yes. CAI Safety's permanent warning line systems are engineered for long-term exposure to weather and environmental conditions.At what height is fall protection required?
FAQs
It depends on the work type and the regulation that applies:
- Federal OSHA (general industry): commonly 4 ft. for unprotected sides/edges.
- Federal OSHA (construction): commonly 6 ft. for many construction activities.
- Cal-OSHA (California): many construction scenarios use 7.5 ft. as a key trigger height, but California also has task-specific rules (roofing is a common example). Cal DIR
Because exceptions and task-specific rules are common (roof edges, ladders, platforms, leading edges, skylights, etc.), the safest approach is to treat fall hazards as a site-specific assessment, not a single universal number.
