OSHA considers a rooftop skylight to be hole in the roof surface. A skylight that is accidently stepped on or fallen into can break and cause a fall from a fatal height. If employees are accessing rooftop equipment near skylights of any kind, they must be protected with the appropriate fall protection screens or guardrail.
Whatever style your skylight, Simplified Safety has a screen or guardrail that can be used as fall protection. Please contact our sales team with any questions you may have about skylight fall protection
