Many safety standards and regulations consider rooftop skylights to be a hole in the roof surface. More often than not, if a skylight is accidentally stepped on or fallen into, it can break and cause a fall from a fatal height. This is why many safety standards and regulations mandate that if a skylight is in the vicinity of a working area or walking surface, they must be protected with the appropriate fall prevention equipment. Our Skylight Guardrail System was specifically designed to address fall protection risks and regulations without minimizing light from your skylights. Each system is freestanding and utilizes our counter-weighted baseplates, eliminating the need for hardware connections that penetrate your rooftop and potentially cause leaks. These systems come engineered on a single pallet with easy to follow instructions and a single tool for installation. This freestanding, portable, modular system is constructed with corrosion resistant lightweight aluminum tubing.

Frequently Asked Questions

    Acccording to the law:
    A worker shall be adequately protected by a guardrail system. Requirements for guardrails are found in the regulation for construction projects (s.26.1). The regulation for industrial establishment (ss. 13 and 14) contains provisions for permanent guardrails. The regulation for construction projects provides that if it is not reasonably possible to install guardrails, a worker must be adequately protected by at least one of the following methods of fall protection:
    • Safety net
    • Travel Restraint system
    • Fall Arrest System
    • Fall Restricting System
    Acccording to the law:
    Occupational health and safety laws generally require action when a worker has the potential to fall about 3 metres (10 feet). In most cases, fall protection is required when:

    • Other means of fall protection are not available or possible, such as guardrails Working at a height of 3 metres or more (permanent and/or temporary work areas)
    • Working at a height of less than 3 metres when the surface below could cause a greater injury risk than just the fall (e.g. machinery; risk of drowning in water or other liquid; open tanks, vats, or pits containing hazardous materials; materials can shift)
    • A worker may fall through an opening in the work surface
    • It is determined that fall protection is necessary

RoofGuard has been tested to meet or exceed American (OSHA), Canadian (CCOHS) and Provincial (OHSA in Ontario and each equivalent in other provinces) safety regulations.

RoofGuard has also been tested to meet or exceed the engineering standards created by CSA and ANSI.

This would include comparisons between; guardrails vs harness, guardrails vs fall restraint or guardrails vs fall arrest.

  • Passive fall protection is the type of protection that does NOT require any action by people. Examples include: Guardrails, Safety Nets, etc.
  • Active fall protection is the type of protection that requires training and direct connection to an engineered fall protection system or anchor point. Examples include: Body Harnesses and Lanyards, Anchor Points, etc.
  • General rule: Passive solutions are preferred to active ones. They represent engineering controls that keep people safe regardless of training level and awareness of a hazard.

Upfront costs of a guardrail system are slightly more than horizontal lifelines. However, when you add in the cost of certifying employees for working at heights (every three years), anchor point inspections (yearly), lanyard and harness inspections (yearly), recordkeeping (ongoing) and other related inspections, the overall cost of an installed guardrail system is much less.

There is also the amount of time and resources that must be devoted to making sure these are all adhered to. Whereas, a guardrail system can be set up once and you are instantly compliant.

RoofGuard is incredibly simple to install and can be done easily by an inexperienced worker with simple hand tools.

Each system has labels that contain a QR code that links to a series of videos showing exactly how to install the system for maximum time savings.

Each RoofGuard system comes with a stamped engineering drawing back by the in-house engineering team at Liftsafe Fall Protection.

Yes. RoofGuard comes standard as an aluminum system that is grey but some clients prefer it to be painted safety yellow. This is done in-house with a powder coated paint that is weather resistant.
No. RoofGuard must not be used as an anchor. This is stated explicitly in the RoofGuard installation manual among other safety requirements.
Yes. This depends on how steep the slope is for standard systems (it must meet the standards and regulations for sloped roofs). However, custom systems are available for multiple applications including sloped roofs.

The Hierarchy of Fall Protection Solutions

Elimination of Hazards

  • Whenever possible, remove the fall hazard itself.
  • If there is no fall hazard, there’s no fall.

Passive Systems

  • Do not require the use of Personal Protective Equipment or active participation from the worker.
  • Include Guardrails or Netting Systems.
  • A preferred choice for its ease of use without the need for additional training and PPE.

Fall Restraint

  • Uses personal fall arrest equipment (harness, lanyard, a. anchor point) to stop the user from reaching the edge.
  • This type of ttying-offi p the user from falling in the first place.

Fall Arrest

  • When all other solutions are infeasible.
  • Fall arrest uses the same equipment as fall restraint but the fall protection equipment engages after the fall happens.
  • When it engages, the equipment slows the workers descent, bringing them to a safe stop.
