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.
