Standard Skylight Guardrail Kits (4' x 4', 4' x 6', 6' x 6')

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.
