Your Crews Protected.
There’s no such thing as “just one skylight” when a worker’s life is on the line. Whether your job calls for a single net or a hundred, we’re here to help you protect your people so you can do whatever it takes to ensure your crew gets home safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Over-Skylight Human Arrest System is a complete skylight fall protection system purpose-built for the standard 4’×8′ commercial skylight. The kit pairs a high-visibility orange safety net, a heavy-duty stainless ratchet strap, and a carry bag with a serialized QR code that drives a full digital inspection record. Together they give a crew a physical barrier against a fall-through and give a safety manager the documented proof that the barrier was in place, inspected, and audit-ready.
The safety net at the heart of the System is tested to absorb in excess of 3,833 foot-pounds of impact energy and 23,400 lbs of force, far exceeding OSHA and Cal/OSHA performance requirements for skylight safety net fall-through protection. The System is designed and tested to catch a worker who falls onto a covered skylight, but it is not a rooftop anchorage device. It should never be used as a tie-off point for a harness, lanyards, or travel restraints, and only trained personnel should install or inspect it.
Every Over-Skylight Human Arrest System ships as four paired components. The high-visibility orange safety net, sized for the standard 4’×8′ commercial skylight. The heavy-duty stainless ratchet strap that secures the net to the existing skylight curb. The carry bag that protects the kit between jobs. And the serialized QR code, permanently affixed to both the net and the bag, that ties the unit on the roof to its inspection record in the cloud.
The Over-Skylight Human Arrest System is purpose-built for the standard 4’×8′ commercial skylight, curb-mounted or self-flashing.
Yes, for overvented skylights, position the perimeter ratchet strap below the venting and skylight counterflashing, or above the venting but below the skylight frame edge. The strap should never run across the venting itself, since that compromises both the venting and the tension that holds the System in place. The full installation instructions cover this in detail and ship with every kit.
A single crew member can install the Over-Skylight Human Arrest System in under two minutes with no drilling and no penetrations in the skylight curb or the roofing membrane.
Only trained personnel should install or inspect the Over-Skylight Human Arrest System. Every kit ships with printed installation instructions, a tailgate safety talk in English and Spanish, and a training video that walks a crew through the install step by step. The training is short, and any crew member who can run a ratchet strap can be trained to install it safely.
Yes. The Over-Skylight Human Arrest System is built for repeated use across multiple sites over its full service life. Scan the QR code at one location to log removal, fold it back into its carry bag, and scan again when it goes up at the next site. The inspection record follows the unit from job to job, so each kit carries its own history with it.
The serialized QR code helps keep a documented record for OSHA compliance. Scan the code with any smartphone and the inspection log for that specific unit opens immediately. From there, a crew member or a competent person can register the install, complete the weekly inspection, log removal at the end of a job, or report a fall arrest event. Every scan is timestamped, geocoded, and is tied to the unit’s unique serial number, which means the proof on the screen always matches the net on the roof.
OSHA requires safety nets to be visually inspected weekly while in service, and the platform is built to make that recordkeeping effortless. The recommended cadence is a daily visual check by the user, a weekly digital inspection completed by a competent person via the QR scan, and a removal scan when the job ends. Each entry is logged against the unit and stored in the cloud, so the paperwork that used to live on clipboards now lives where a safety director or an inspector can pull it up in seconds.
Yes. The platform produces one-click downloadable reports covering inventory, deployment locations, inspection history, and incident reports. If an OSHA compliance officer arrives unannounced and asks to see documentation for the nets on the roof, the records are ready before they finish the question.
Three years from the first in-service date. To maintain OSHA compliance and the guaranteed protection rating, units must be replaced at the end of their service life. The platform tracks every unit’s in-service date and pushes a compliance alert before the three-year mark to remind you that the net needs to be removed from service and replaced.
The net catches the worker, absorbs the impact, and holds them safely above the floor below. Once the worker has been safely rescued from the net, any worker can scan the QR code on the net to log the fall arrest event. The net is then removed from service, destroyed, and replaced with a new unit as soon as possible. A net that has arrested a fall has spent its rated capacity and is not approved for a second deployment.
The Over-Skylight Human Arrest System meets or exceeds OSHA 1910.28(b)(3)(i), OSHA 1926.501(b)(4), and Cal/OSHA Title 8 §3212. Those are the three standards that govern skylight fall-through protection on commercial roofs in the United States, and the Over-Skylight Human Arrest System was engineered to exceed the requirements of all three.
Several Western states have their own enforcement programs and requirements that match or exceed federal OSHA standards. The Over-Skylight Human Arrest System is engineered and tested to exceed these requirements.
