Skylight Protection

Cost-effective protection for skylights and transparent roof sheeting

Anchor Safe designs, supplies and installs skylight protection systems to prevent personnel working on the rooftop from falling through vulnerable areas, without diminishing the skylight’s ability to allow light into the building below. They also protect vulnerable roof sheets, skylights, and atriums from severe weather such as hail and airborne debris.

Every Anchor Safe skylight protection system is installed by our experienced and highly trained height safety specialists. We’re confident in the quality of our work, so all our height safety systems come backed by our 10-year product & installation warranty.

Comprehensive skylight protection systems

Skylight Cages

A skylight cage is a raised cover used to protect rooftop workers from the fall hazard of standalone skylights. Skylight cages are manufactured from high-strength aluminium lattice and may require a sturdy aluminium frame depending on the size of the skylight.

Skylight Fall Protection Covers

Constructed from a high-strength, non-corrosive aluminium lattice, a skylight fall protection cover will prevent a person from falling through transparent roof sheeting should they accidentally step, trip, or fall onto it.

Skylight Safety Signage

Adequate safety signage is a necessary aspect to any skylight protection system to warn rooftop workers of any potentially hazardous rooftop surfaces that could result in a fall, even when protected by cages or covers.

The experts in rooftop fall protection systems

Anchor Safe will design, install and certify a total skylight protection system that is customised to suit your rooftop and access requirements. Our designers will incorporate all required components to ensure access is convenient, and your rooftop remains safe and compliant with all relevant Australian height safety standards.

Roof Walkways and Skylight Crossovers
Roof walkways designate the safest access route and minimise the potential for trips and falls. Skylight crossovers or bridging can be installed where necessary to cross over transparent roof sheeting or skylights.

Safety Signage
Adequate safety signage will be necessary to warn rooftop workers of any potentially hazardous rooftop surfaces that could result in a fall, even when protected by cages or covers. Failure to properly sign a hazard will leave the building owner or business liable.

Roof Guardrails
For larger skylights and rooftop atriums, a well-designed and compliant guardrail system is one of the safest ways to prevent access to these potential fall hazards.
