Fall Protection Skylight Screens

Skylights, while often overlooked, present a significant hazard on rooftops. Unlike the obvious dangers of roof edges, skylights can blend into the walking path, creating a deceptive risk. Many skylights are fragile and incapable of supporting the weight of a person, making them a potential source of severe injuries or even fatalities if proper precautions aren’t taken. This hidden danger is particularly concerning in high-traffic areas where workers may not always be vigilant about their surroundings.

To address this critical safety issue, our Skylight Screens offer a durable, OSHA-compliant solution. These screens are specifically designed to cover both flat and dome skylights, providing a robust barrier that prevents falls while still allowing natural light to filter through. Made from high-strength materials, they are built to withstand harsh weather conditions and heavy use, ensuring long-term reliability.

Why Skylight Screens Are Essential

Installing skylight screens is not just about compliance—it’s about protecting lives. For facilities like commercial warehouses, industrial plants, or any building with rooftop access, these screens are a cost-effective way to enhance safety protocols. They help create a safer work environment, reducing the risk of accidents and potential liability. Additionally, they demonstrate a commitment to worker safety, which can boost morale and productivity.

Beyond their practical benefits, skylight screens are easy to install and maintain, making them a hassle-free addition to any safety program. By investing in this simple yet effective solution, you can mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and provide peace of mind for both workers and management. Don’t let skylights remain a hidden hazard—take proactive steps to safeguard your team and your workplace.
