Eliminate Safety Hazards with Skylight Fall Protection

Falling through a roof can be worse than falling off a roof. Skylights serve an obvious function for a building but present a serious safety problem? Skylight guard must be fixed, cover the skylight and be able to withstand a vertical force of 200 lbs while providing deflection to prevent the skylight from breaking and falling onto anyone below. Tritech’s skylight guars rails attach to the skylight or openings retaining frame without breaking through the roof skin and will not compromise the building owner’s roofing warranty. The guards are cost effective. Easy to install and will withstand adverse weather conditions.

Skylight Guards

OSHA has laid down minimum requirements for skylight guards. Regulations 29 CFR 1910.23 and 1926.501, which cover skylights, hatches and other openings, state that these items must be protected with a screen or railing on all exposed sides where the drop is greater than six feet. OSHA requires that skylight guards have the structural integrity to safely support a worker. The guards must be fixed, must be able to withstand a vertical force of at least 200 lbs, and must provide deflection in order to prevent the skylight from breaking and falling onto anyone below. A skylight can break and fall onto someone even when the rooftop worker does not fall into the room below.

Skylight Guard Rails

Tritech’s skylight guard rails meet or exceed all OSHA and CSA standards. The guards attach to the skylight or opening’s retaining frame without breaking the roof skin. This feature’s importance includes the fact that installing the guards will not compromise the building owner’s roofing warranty.

The guards are easy to install, increasing their cost-effectiveness, and will withstand any type of adverse weather conditions. This includes withstanding major hail storms, thus protecting the skylights, themselves, from being damaged or weakened before a fall hazard occurs.

Tritech Fall Protection Systems™ provides standard and customized passive fall protection solutions for all types of roof and roofing material. Our solutions include both guards to cover the skylights, and free standing guard rails to surround an entire roof area.
