Q: How is the skylight net installed without penetrating the roof?
A: Place the collapsible frame over the curbed skylight/opening so the net overlaps the curb on all sides; center it, ensure full contact with the curb, and follow the manufacturer’s securing steps. Do not fasten through the roofing membrane.
Q: Does a skylight net replace guardrails or personal fall arrest?
A: No. It provides fall-through protection at the opening. You may still need guardrails, a warning-line system, or PFAS depending on the task, distance to edges, and your site’s fall-protection plan.
Q: Is this solution OSHA compliant by itself?
A: OSHA requires employers to protect workers from fall hazards and to choose systems that meet the criteria in 29 CFR 1910.28/1910.29 (or 1926 for construction). Verify the selected system and installation meet your duty-to-protect requirements for that job.
Q: Can the net be reused, and what inspections are recommended?
A: Yes inspect before each use. Check the frame joints, netting, and connectors for damage, UV brittleness, cuts, or deformation. Remove from service if defects are found and replace components as directed by the manufacturer.
Q: What about wind and weather exposure?
A: Remove or secure the unit during high winds or severe weather. Store dry and away from sharp edges; prolonged UV and abrasion reduce service life. Always follow the manufacturer’s limitations and maintenance guidance.
