PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Hidden Fall Hazards
Unlike open edges or roof hatches, skylights can give a false sense of security, but pose a serious fall risk if not properly guarded. Workers sometimes mistake skylights for solid surfaces, especially when covered in dirt, snow, or debris, blending with the roof.
