The SkyGuard™ Skylight Protection System provides reliable skylight fall protection, ensuring workers are protected from one of the most overlooked roof hazards; falling through skylights. Designed to meet OSHA 1926.501(b)(4) and CAL OSHA 3209(b) requirements, SkyGuard offers fall prevention for large skylights, tall pyramid skylights, smoke hatches, and smoke vents. Its modular design makes it easy to install right out of the box, and with simple rail adjustments, it can be customized to fit a wide range of skylight sizes.

Built for both safety and durability, SkyGuard features galvanized bases, protective rubber pads, and non-penetrating freestanding construction to maintain roof warranties. The open-top design accommodates skylights with opening doors, such as smoke hatches, while providing OSHA-compliant, third-party certified fall protection. Available in galvanized plating, high-visibility safety yellow, or custom colors, SkyGuard ensures long-lasting rooftop safety while protecting people and preventing costly accidents.
